Expert urges safe spaces for child abuse reporting from pre-primary level

Expert urges safe spaces for child abuse reporting from pre-primary level

A psychotherapist named Farishta Dastur Mukerji said that children should be taught from a very young age how to report if someone hurts them.

She explained that schools should teach parents how to listen and help when a child says they have been abused.

Many families find it hard to talk about abuse because it is still a taboo subject.

Schools are trying to help, but sometimes families get upset when schools get involved.

The expert said that everyone in society needs to work together to make sure children feel safe and know their rights.

It's important for families to support children who report abuse, so they don't feel alone.
