Only empowering children with knowledge will protect them and enable them to speak up about abuse.
Hannah was sexually abused as a child Between the age of seven and nine, I was groomed and sexually abused by a family friend. I didn’t comprehend what had happened to me until basic sex education in my final year of primary school started to expose the truth. I was 11 when, in a tiny classroom, my male headteacher explained the human life cycle, topping off the final lesson with a graphic video of childbirth.
Hannah was disappointed by new guidelines around sex education Considering research indicates that high-quality sex education encourages children to report abuse and lowers the likelihood of being in a violent or abusive relationship, I cannot comprehend the logic behind these traditionalist-fuelled guidelines. Nor trust that they’ll have any positive effect. These measures aim to protect children from undue influences. And they’re right.
