This document discusses a parent-targeted child sexual abuse prevention education program. It begins by outlining the current situation of child sexual abuse in Vietnam, finding that thousands of cases occur each year involving children as young as 1 year old. It then describes common difficulties parents face in educating children on prevention, such as misunderstandings about abusers and abuse. The document proposes an education program to help parents overcome these difficulties by providing them information on abuse realities, abuser tactics, consequences of abuse, and signs of abuse. It recommends teaching children personal body safety rules and what to do if they feel unsafe. The goal is to empower parents and children through education to better cooperate on preventing this crime.

In recent years, Georgia has made first steps to address the problem of violence against children. In 2010, a joint Ministerial decree concerning identification of violence, appropriate referral, response, and coordination by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs laid the grounds for the development of a national child protection referral system. Adding psychologists to the staff of the Social Service Agency in 2013 with the primary task to identify and address violence against children further advanced the system.
In order to analyse barriers to ending violence against children in Georgia and to review the progress of the child protection referral system, two studies were undertaken by UNICEF in 2012-2013. The studies assessed the perception of general public on violence against children and functioning of the referral procedures from the perspective of professionals involved in implementation of the system. The two studies have to be considered in combination to get a complete picture of the situation of violence against children in Georgia and issues around functioning of the child protection referral system.

Child abuse and racism
It is illegal to treat people differently or unfairly simply because they belong to a different race or culture. Neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse are a major contributor to child maltreatment, poverty and neglect are highly correlated. Children as well as young people from black and minority ethnic groups experience racism which extends to impact the child’s wellbeing but may vary depending on many circumstances. Some people may view it as racism significantly damages children’s chances of fulfilling their potential; however, research suggests that the effects of racism on a child’s emotional as well as physical and psychological development may be profound since the harmful determinant of population health is in its infancy.
Child abuse that results from racism is the hardest form of prejudice to recognize because children are the one group that is viewed as naturally subordinate until a certain age is reached a stipulated age, they are the responsibility of their parents or guardians that have been accorded the responsibility of having custody of the children. The essential components of child abuse are a claim by adults to the effect that the child is there’s and they see fit to do exactly what they want, or children exist to serve, honor and obey adults.
Children can also experience racism because of what their religion or nationality may be. Racism that results to child abuse takes many different forms which are inclusive of written or verbal threats or insults, damage to property, including graffiti and personal attacks of any kind which includes violence. Consequently, a child that is subjected to any form of racism is more likely to have a negative self-image and low self-esteem, the role of anyone working with children or providing activities for them is to ensure the protection of children who may be vulnerable to racist bullying and racial abuse. Black and ethnic children are most likely to experience bullying than their white counterparts since white children usually witness racial bullying as bystanders as the most common expression of racism is through racist name-calling. Research shows that this form of racism towards children is often viewed by adults as trivial although there is some limited research evidence which shows that racial bullying frequently involves the
It is of great importance that all those who work with children to have a good understanding of how racism can harm children and have the ability to recognize when it occurs and deal with it. Training and awareness of the negative effects of racism and child abuse should be part of a group’s program of care for children or young people while using their services, and policies or procedures should be put in place to ensure that it clear that expressions of racism are unacceptable and the perpetrators of such victimization will be consequential.

Introduction
The aim of the paper will be to analyze child abuse. The history of the social problem, impact, persuasion campaigns, altruistic behavior and impact of the intervention methods will also be provided. Child abuse has become a common social phenomenon that is worth addressing. Unless the intervention strategies and persuasive elements are utilized, minimizing the incidences of child abuse will be a major challenge.
Nature and history of your issue
The society is grappling with the increased rates of child abuse. The phenomenon has been attributed to a rise in poverty levels and domestic violence. Child abuse takes different forms, which include inflicting pain through beating, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and child labor. The history of child abuse can be traced to the 18th century, especially during the industrial revolution (Bragg, 2003). Children were perceived as the source of cheap labor, therefore, were high demand in industries. Today, through concerted efforts of various government and human rights activists, the explicit forms of child abuse have been on the decrease. However, issues of child neglect, emotional abuse, and child labor remain a significant challenge.
According to the 2013 National Statistics on Child Abuse (NSCA), it was estimated that about 1,520 children below the age of 18 died of child abuse. The NSCA report indicated that close to 3.1 million children in the country were victims of maltreatment. As a result, the children received preventative services from various Child agencies in the U.S. close to 80% of the cases were related to child neglect. The report indicated that 2% of the children were victims of sexual abuse while 18% suffered physical abuse. Additionally, the report noted that both parents caused most of the violations.
In 2014, there was a rise in the number of children receiving emotional support from the Child Protective Services compared to the previous. Despite the child abuse campaigns, statistics indicated that cases of child neglect were still on the rise. In 2014, the victims of sexual abuse were more compared to those of physical abuse. It was reported that more than 205,438 were victims of sexual abuse compared to 60,897, who were the victims of physical abuse.
Contrary to the belief that strangers propagate ill-treatment of children, specifically sexual assault, studies provide a different perspective. It is reported that most of the abuses are committed by people who are close to the children, including their parents and close relatives (Sherman &.Holden, 2009) Demanding careers and poverty are some of the major issue factors contributing to child abuse. As mentioned before, neglect has been on the rise. Thi.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

PARENT-TARGETED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE
PREVENTION EDUCATION
Nguyen ThiAnh Thu
University of Education, VNU, VietNamese
Abstract: Education is necessary for children to have skills to prevent sexual abuse. This requires
closecooperation between the families and the schools. In practice, this cooperation is, however, not effective
sinceparents face many difficulties in educating their children in sexual abuse prevention skills. Therefore,
ourtraining program specifically targeted parents, helping parents overcome their difficulties and best
cooperatewith schools in sexual abuse education for their children.
Keywords: Children, child sexual abuse; child sexual abuse prevention; sexual abuse prevention education;
I. Current situation of child sexual abuse in Vietnam
Child sexual abuse is current an alarming issue in both the world and Vietnam. In fact, many cases of
child sexual abuse result in severe consequences in children's psychological life and safety. Besides immediate
physical effects, sexual abuse also leaves mental, long-term, and serious consequences for the children and their
families.
According to a report by the Criminal Police Department, Ministry of Public Security, in just 2 years of 2017
and 2018 and the first 3 months of 2019, there were 2,996 cases of child sexual abuse nationwide; that means 3-
4 children is sexually abused a day.
The extent of child sexual abuse cases tends to be complicated and severe. Child sexual abuse occurs
among different groups of ages and is committed by various types of people, most of whom are acquaintances,
family members, or neighbors, and both Vietnamese and foreigners. Children may be abused anywhere, ranging
from families, schools, hospitals, parks, restaurants, supermarkets to the Internet.
II. Difficulties faced by parents in child sexual abuse prevention education
Children acquire the necessary knowledge to build their skills through lessons at school. These skills
need more time and practice in different environments outside the class to be built, strengthened, and developed.
The collaboration between families and schools in child sexual abuse prevention education is, hence,extremely
vital.
Besides, educating children to build child sexual abuse prevention skills also pose parents to various difficulties,
specifically:
2.1. Inadequate perception of “child sexual abuse”
Child sexual abuse is commonly thought to be involved in hurting a child’s genitals. However, the Law
on Children 2016 defines child sexual abuse as the use of force, threatened use of force, coercion, enticement,
and seduction of children toengage in sex-related acts, including rape, defilement, copulation, lewdness with
children, and the use of children for prostitution and pornography in any form.
2.2. Incorrect perception of sexually abused children
The incorrect thought that only girls are sexually abused is common among many parents. Many
parents having boys even have disregarded the sexual abuse education for their kids. According to statistics in
Vietnam, sexual abuse, on average, happens to 1 out of 4 girls and 1 out of 6 boys. Notably, the consequences of
child sexual abuse left on both boys and girls are equally severe.
Furthermore, many parents suppose that only older children with well-developed bodies become the
targets of sexual abusers. Due to this lack of vigilance, educating their children in sexual abuse prevention at an
early ageis deemed not necessary. However, a disturbing fact is the average age of sexually abused children in
Vietnam is 8-9 years old, even some 1-year-old children have suffered sexual abuse.
2. American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2021
ARJHSS Journal www.arjhss.com Page | 39
2.3. Incorrect perception of child sexual abusers
Children are often taught by their parents to be wary of strangers but rarely taught to be wary of those
they know or even blood relatives. 93% of child sexual abusers are, in fact, acquaintances of the victims’
families, and 47% of them are relatives.
Child sexual abusers are not always healthy adults. Some of them areelderly.
Girls are sexually abused not only by men but also by women. Likewise, boys may be sexually abused by both
women and men.
2.4. Wrong awareness of child sexual abusers’ tricks
According to the survey, most parents share the thought that children are always suddenly sexually
abused. However, most of the actual child sexual abuses are notably sophisticatedly planned by the abusers.
Their plan usually consists of 5 basic steps: Identify the target – Buildtrust (with the child or young parents) –
Creat secrets with the child – Commit escalating acts – Commit acts of sexual abuse. The carefully prepared
planmakes it easy for them to hide their intentions andfreely commit depraved acts, even in a repetitive manner,
without being detected.
2.5. Lack of knowledge about educating their children in sexual abuse prevention and shyness when sharing
“sensitive” content with their children.
When selecting between sending their children to classes on child sexual abuse prevention and directly
educating them, most parents prefer the former.Some just buy books or find materials for their children to read
and study by themselves while few parents choose toaccompany their children in learning about and sharing
directly with them on this matter. The shyness of many parents is also one of the factors that lead to their
children's wrong awareness and fear of sharing with parents about their situations.

- The thumbsymbolizes the closest family members like the parents, the grandparents, and the siblings. The
children can hug, kiss, share the bed with them, and agree to have them see and touch his/her underwear areas
while bathing, changing their clothes when she/he is young.
- The index finger symbolizes close friends, teachers, or relatives of the family such as aunts and uncles. These
people can approach and hold the child’s hands but cannot see or touch the child’s underwear areas.
- The middle finger symbolizes acquaintances like neighbors, far-blood relatives, friends of the child, or friends
of grandparents and parents. The child can approach, greet and play with them but should not allow them to see
or touch his/her underwear areas.
- The ring finger symbolizes safe strangers whom the child has just met for the first time but can easily realize
their identity, origin, and occupations through their costumes, nameplate, or letters of referral such as
police,doctors, teachers, electricians, officers, or workers. The child should not let them get close without
anyone around or stand from a distance to talk, if necessary, and absolutely prevent them from seeing or
touching his/her underwear areas. The case where the doctor examines the child with a family member nearby is
an exception.
- The pinky finger symbolizes unsafe strangers whom the child has just met for the first time but has difficulty
identifying who they are. The child should absolutely prevent them from approaching, looking at, or touching
his/her underwear areas.
3.5.2.3. Five danger warnings
Any of the following situations indicate that the child is in danger. The child needs to say “no”, leave the place
and immediately notify his/her family or people around.
- Looking warning: When someone wants to see the child’s underwear areas or wants the child to look at their
underwear areas (or force the child to watch a movie or picture showing the characters’ underwear areas)
- Speaking warning: When someone wants the child to talk about his/her underwear areas or wants the child to
hear them talk about their or someone else’s underwear areas.

- Touching warning: When someone intentionally touches the child’s underwear areas or wants the child to
touch their (or someone else’s) underwear areas
- Alone warning: When the child is alone in a godforsaken place or surrounded by strangers.
- Hugging warning: When someone other than the parents, grandparents, and siblings deliberately hugs the
child; or when the parents, grandparents, or siblings hug the child while the child feels uncomfortable.
3.5.2.4. Things to do when children are in danger
- Saying no to all requests and dangerous acts
- Seeking help from people around by calling for help, screaming, crying, smashing things around to get
attention
- Staying calm and cleverly taking some defense measure to escape from bad people if there is no one around
them;
- Taking immediately with people around after escaping from bad people.
IV. Conclusions
Most parents face difficulties in providing their children with skills to prevent sexual abuse. Many do
not have a thorough understanding of child sexual abuse, the actual situation of this problem, and its
consequences for children, families, and society. Deficiency of knowledge about the tricks of the abusers and
what to do to help their children build the skills to protect themselves against abusers also parents' challenges.
Therefore, child sexual abuse prevention training courses and propaganda with the involvement of both parents
and children are vital to offer parents a comprehensiveperspective and help children acquire skills to prevent
child sexual abuse in the most effective manner.
