Sexual abuse of kids

Sexual abuse is when someone wants to touch you in private areas or make someone touch them and keep it secret.

What is sexual abuse?

When someone wants to touch you in a way that you find uncomfortable, for example in private areas like your genitals, butt, or breasts, that is sexual abuse.

It is also sexual abuse if someone asks you to touch their private parts or touches their private parts in front of you.

It is never your fault if someone mistreats you. Always tell someone. There is always someone who can help.

This animation is about a brave girl who is abused sexually. She tells someone and gets help.
