It is imperative that children are under total protection so that they can survive, grow, learn and develop to their fullest potential. Millions of children deal with violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination on a daily basis.
In Divine Child High School, we took up such crucial and mandatory issues to educate our students in the form of discussions and important drills to deal with these situations. We formed a BALSURAKSHA committee and a POCSO committee on Friday 29th January 2021 to ensure that the children are safe and taken care of all their needs.
The Protection Of Children From Sexual Offences (POCSO ACT 2012) was enacted to protect the children from offences of sexual assault, sexual harassment and pornography with due regard for safe guarding the interest and wellbeing of children. As decided by the committee, on Monday 1st February 2021 we showed the students a video on ‘Komal ki kahani’ which dealt with the concept of good touch and bad touch. Images pertaining to the same were also shown and explained to the children. They were made aware of the bad touch and asked to inform their parents or teachers about it.
