University students to highlight child sexual abuse issues through a puppetry show. — Pictures by Miera ZulyanaBut sometimes, adults turn to them to get a serious message like abuse across.
Led by three communication, psychology and performing arts lecturers, the campaign aims to encourage pupils to speak up about their feelings and unjust situations. Shaken by the severity of issue, Murina and her public relations students came up with the fun campaign to create awareness about sexual abuse incidents and also educate the primary school children, their parents and teachers on how to deal with such cases.
Hence, this was why most of the incidents do not come to the attention of the children’s parents or teachers at school. Following the puppetry show, the puppeteers will then interact with the pupils to address the issues related to the campaign theme and answer questions from the students.to teach the children who to approach in case of apparent sexual abuse incidents.
Commendable. After the campaign, perhaps you can divide the topics into digestible 5-10 minutes segments on Youtube so more children can watch wt their parents and learn.
