Week 10 - Fear, Topic 8, Evidence states that children in the early years of school are often seen as being too young to understand or to have experienced gender discrimination or gender violence. However, young children can and do experience gender discrimination and violence and they need the language and strategies to challenge these experiences and protect themselves. Self-care and help seeking strategies empower children to assert their rights over their own bodies and to gain the support they need if someone is breaching their rights. While people are often worried that knowledge of things ‘wrong’ in the world may tarnish children’s innocence, it is essential they are aware that their body belongs to them and they have the right to say no and get help. School-based prevention programs have been found to be effective in increasing student knowledge and protective behaviours. These programs aim to build children’s comfort level in disclosing inappropriate sexual advances or exposure to violence.
