Programs in schools and community meetings can educate the entire
community about sexual abuse. Acting out short plays or skits
sometime makes it easier for people to discuss abuse as a&nbsp;group.

Plan workshops for parents to help them learn ways
of communicating with very young children about
sexual abuse.

Hold meetings to decide how your community can respond to cases of sexual abuse. Some communities have suggested public shaming by demonstrating in front of houses of known abusers.
