Empowering children with knowledge about consent is a cornerstone of child abuse prevention. It’s not about mature content—it’s about age-appropriate confidence, communication, and mutual respect. The more we normalize conversations around boundaries, the more resilient, safe, and self-aware our children become.

Yes, it’s hard. But silence is more dangerous than an awkward conversation. Teaching children about sexual abuse doesn’t scare them—it equips them. It gives them language, confidence, and the reassurance that someone has their back. The earlier we break the silence, the safer our children will be.

Empowering children doesn’t mean making them responsible for stopping abuse. It means giving them the tools, language, and support they need to know what’s right, speak up when something’s wrong, and trust that help is available. Every child deserves that. Let’s build a culture where body safety is as normal to teach as tying shoes or looking both ways.Because when we raise strong, informed kids—we build safer families, schools, and communities.
