Teaching Kids To Say No To Sexual Harassment Video Series by KPWKMTV

Today the KPWKM (Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita Keluarga dan Masyarakat) or The Women, Family, and Community Development Ministry launched a series of educational videos on sexual harrassment of children on KPWKMTV.

The videos can be used by parents, guardians and educators to educate children on sexual harrassment and teach them how to say No including how to react in situations where sexual predators try to take advantage of them.

Currently there are 5 videos depicting different situations which children may encounter with people whom they know or even relatives. The videos are aimed at preschoolers and are useful for primary school going kids too.

The 5 videos depict the follow 5 possible sexual harrassment situations

Sexual harrassment by private tutor
Meeting a flasher in the park
A relative taking inappropriate photos of child
Inappropriate touching by friends while playing together
Sexual harrassment by teacher or tutor

All of the videos teach the to say No to Bad touch. They teach children to shout, run and inform a trusted adult or their parents, ending with their parents or guardian calling up the Help Line numbers provided and the perpetrator being caught.

This is a very good initiative. By watching the videos together with their children, parents can more easily explain the different possible sexual harrassment scenarios and teach their children what to do. At the end of each video, contact numbers of Talian Kasih 15999 (for guidance) and Help Line 999 (for emergencies) are included. These are help line numbers to contact for assistance.

Below are the videos. You can go to the KPWKMTV YouTube channel to watch other videos by KPWKMTV. Let's make this campaign a success by subscribing to the channel, sharing and making use of the videos!
