17. Learning Points
There are several behaviors that can be considered child
sexual abuse
Some of them are very explicit in nature, some are not
Regardless if these are touching and non - touching, they
are all considered violations to child rights to protection
Even if a behavior or a situation is non-touching in
nature, we must treat it seriously
18. Learning Points
Because in most cases, sexual violence at home is
perpetrated by a trusted adult (an immediate family member, a
relative or a close friend of the family such as neighbor),
children have a more difficult time to disclose of the abuse
Societal and family pressure further builds up barriers to
disclosure
Offenders also groom children not to disclose
The culture of silence further contributes to keeping abuse at
home a secret.
19. Rape cases went down by 24 percent to 3,446 cases
recorded during the six-month lockdown from 4,580
incidents reported in a similar period before the lockdown
21. Corporal punishment in the home
Caregivers experiencing stresses and lacking the
knowledge/skills to process said stresses plus lack of know-
how on positive discipline techniques
22. Building up Children’s Protective Behavior
Child Protection in Basic Education in
the Time of COVID-19
35. Saying NO
• Stand up
• Look at the person straight in
the eye
• With a loud powerful voice, say
• NO!
36. REMEMBER
It is important to teach
children that if the
offender threatens
them with a knife, a
gun or via any other
means they should
save themselves.
Whom should children tell if
they experience a confusing or
unsafe touch?
37. • Have children understand
that they should tell a trusted
adult until someone believes
and helps him/her
38. Child Sexual Abuse is a Crime!
It is important to build up children’s protective
behavior, but at the end of the day, offenders are
accountable for their own behavior and the sexual
abuse
41. Social media users in the Philippines
There were 73 million social media users in
the Philippines in January 2020
42. The number of social media users in the
Philippines increased by 5.8 million or
(+8.6%)between April 2019 and January 2020
43. Children have increased time spent
online with the absence of face to
face learning
Potentially increasing risks to:
• exposure to inappropriate
/harmful online
content(pornography, violence,
cyberbullying)
• possible interactions with
offendersonline
• (grooming)
46. It is always important to
relate the offline to the
online, even if for many
children, there are no
distinctions
47. The concept of Strangers
Strangers are people we do
not know.
This is the same both offline
and online
The way we interact with
strangers offline should be
the same online.
53. Protecting Private
Information
If it involves the private body
parts, then it is already
PRIVATE information. This
SHOULD NOT BE
SHARED TO EVERYONE
57. We must protect families, we must protect children, who
have inalienable rights and should be loved, should be
taken care of physically and mentally, and should not be
brought into the world only to suffer.
