During the April to June 2024 quarter, at Imaginalco we continued implementing the "ASI no Jugamos" (We don't play like that) program day to day, in order to prevent and detect child sexual abuse in Malinalco.
In these months, we conducted the "Toolbox Workshops" for Secondary, High School and Kindergarten, resumed biweekly meetings of the Network of Spokeswomen, and provided psychological and legal support to children, adolescents, and young adults who require this assistance.
MOST RELEVANT RESULTS OF THESE ACTIVITIES
The "Toolbox Workshops" for Secondary and High School were implemented with adolescents aged 12 to 18 who participate in the Esperanza Azteca Youth Orchestra of the San Martín neighborhood. Our evaluation tools showed that 100% of the adolescents who consistently participated in the sessions increased their protective factors related to the prevention of child sexual violence.
As for the workshops with Kindergarden children, we attended to more than 90 children aged 4 to 5 from the Antonio Alzate and Beatriz Espejo Kindergartens. As a result of the intervention, 77% increased their protective factors against child sexual violence. In addition to the children, 13 teachers from both kindergartens received training for the prevention of child sexual violence, and 85% of them increased their skills to prevent, detect, and respond to the issue if it were to occur in their institution.
Regarding psychological support, there are currently 7 patients, one of whom, in addition to receiving psychological support, also received legal support. As a result of both interventions, she presented her case in court and won in her favor.
Thank you once again for your trust and support, as it is thanks to these that we can continue working.
