Abstract
Child sexual abuse is a worldwide concern. This study focused on empowering children to keep
themselves safe by giving them personal safety education and increasing teacher's awareness and
knowledge of protective measures. A pilot study was done on 35 fth grade girls. Results showed that knowledge of appropriate
and inappropriate touches were less and provides evidence that children are not able to identify inappropriate touches. Preassessment
was done using Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire– Revised among 200 children and Teacher's
Knowledge and Beliefs Scale among 30 teachers. Then intervention was done separately in different sessions for children and
teachers. Post assessment was done. The post-test results clearly indicated that the children had gained a better understanding
of vulnerable areas that can lead to child abuse and also proved that the intervention was effective in increasing the knowledge
of the teachers on Child sexual abuse.
