Sukinda: Tata Steel Mining organized a sensitization programme on sexual harassment for school children at its Sukinda Chromite Mine in Odisha’s Jajpur district.
More than 50 children along with their parents from employees of the company and the community attended the session conducted by Vikas Dodrajka, who is associated with Bachpan Bachao Aandolan.
The programme was meant to teach children about good touch versus bad touch, as a child’s emotional, social and physical development can get affected by inappropriate contact by people known or unknow to them.
“Knowledge of good touch and bad touch enhances the understanding of personal safety and makes them feel secure. This knowledge should be with all children and their parents,” said Dodrajka, who works for upliftment of children in need of care and protection.
The children were taught useful tips on how to be safe and how to tell their parents or teachers if they feel insecure.
A video presentation was made to explain the issue in a better way.
A separate program was also organized for parents in which Dodrajka shared some useful parenting tips.
