Save 500 Children From Sexual Abuse In Colombia

During the course of the year 2019 865 children have benn murdered in Colombia due to violence. A large part of the these were sexually abused.

In the tiempo de paz foundation we have continued with a training process for parenta that aims to inform them about the way in which child sexual abuse is presented, how to show it and whic entities to go to if needed.

We use a pedagogial methodology thea willa generate recall in the parents; where the used a tent, ad wrote a letter in colored sheets to their children in which they expressed how they would become their heroes. You have to teach adults to speak without taboo of sexuality in the right way.

Finally, a socialization was carried out with the whole group, where a cape was used. representing a hero an some ears used to represent ad be attentive to what the children manifest.

We don’t want to think about limits if we can work for saving children from sexual abuse, despite of our Foundation is in Medellin, we enjoyed the challenge of transcending borders of our city and last December we shared our workshop with some kids in "La Estrella"; this is a small town near Medellin with 53.000 inhabitants.

Our staff trained some children and their parents in sexual education, the objective is to educate kids and to warn parents to prevent abuses. During the workshop, teachers talked to the children about how they must take care of their bodies, they explained wich parts of the body can’t be touched neither seen by any other people. With the parents a different job was made, they learnt about signal alarms and how to face this issue.

We want to continue our job and it’s a great opportunity to be in other places,this is a great beginning and now we won’t stop
