The “Taking A Stand” programme addresses the need to speak to children about sexual harassment, as simply raising awareness among educators is not always enough.
Brought to life using 2D cartoons, it aims at creating a safe environment for children to discuss these issues and improve their sense of security. In December of 2022, this programme was implemented in a school in Morocco.

Far too many children are harmed by sexual abuse every day. One of the ways educators can create awareness and become involved in the matter is through prevention workshops. This way, most abuses can be prevented through building understanding, acquiring skills for taking charge of physical safety, and learning how to express consent and set boundaries.

The Taking A Stand program was a success in Moroccon schools, where teachers helped students learn about respect, dignity and equality. Some students were brave enough to come forward and express humiliating moments for them to their teacher and in front of their class. Through this, the problems were addressed, and the students learnt how to handle similar situations in the future. https://voiceofchild.net/lessons-learned-from-implementing-an-innovative-abuse-and-violence-prevention-with-young-children-in-morocco/

Sadly, abusive behaviours in young children are often viewed as a curiosity or mischievous behaviour, but not as sexual harassment. With the help of the Take a Stand program and teachers worldwide, children learn about sexual harassment, how to avoid it and how to cope with it. Find out more at

At times, children find themselves in situations where the lines between inappropriate and appropriate behavior are blurred. As parents and teachers, we can equip children with the necessary tools to protect themselves from situations like this and understand when boundaries are crossed.
