What We Do:

  • Educate students about their right to safety and bodily autonomy
  • Foster confidence to say “No”, recognize unsafe touch, and assert boundaries.
  • Address shame and stigma around their bodies with empathy and dignity
  • Introduce child-friendly explanations of the POCSO Act and redressal mechanisms.
  • Encourage open conversations on gender, power, and respect in age-appropriate ways

How We Do It:

  • Conduct engaging classroom sessions
  • Use stories, activities, and discussions to reinforce that the responsibility of safety lies with adults.
  • Work closely with teachers and school staff to create an ecosystem of safety and accountability
