A two days residential training program for the members of Bal Panchayat was organized from 21-22 June 2010 at AICUF Ashram, Bhopal on Corporal punishment & sexual abuse. About 40 representatives of our Panchayat covering 30 slums of Bhopal actively participated in the program. Ms. Sushma from MP education campaign served as resource person for the training.The main objective of the program was to impart information to the participants about pros & cons of punishment given in most of the schools & how it hampers the physical & mental growth & development of the child were explained to the children. In focused group discussion most of the children accepted that majority of children are dropped out from school because of intense corporal punishment & discrimination. The second days session focused on child sexual abuse & how children are affected by it were discussed Ms. Pragya served as resource for the session. Initially the children were not openly participating but gradually through GD & presentations they showed more involvement. Children also prepared Role plays on types of Physical, Mental & Sexual abuse faced by children at home, community & society.
