Protect Your Precious Body

Know your body

Human body consists of various organ systems, each comprises of a number of organs performing particular tasks.

All boys and girls have the same organ systems with exception of the reproductive system. Reproductive system is for giving birth to offspring. The system includes internal and external sex organs. Each sex has its own unique reproductive organs. The external sex organs include penis and scrotum in boys; and vulva in girls.

Gender equality

Everyone is unique. We should accept and respect each other’s differences and similarities. Boys and girls enjoy the same rights and opportunities across all sectors of society. Choice of occupation should not be limited by gender.

Your body belongs to you

Being the master of your own body, you should treasure and protect yourself.

Your underwear covers your private parts, these include penis and buttocks in boys, chest, vulva and buttocks in girls. No one should ask to see or touch them without your permission. You should not look or touch other people’s private parts either.

Private is private. Do not show or touch your private parts in public. You should not obey to the calls of nature in public places exposed to the public view.

Sexual abuse

Anyone, through the use of threat, bribery, violence or other inappropriate methods to achieve the following commits sexual abuse:

  • Touches your private parts
  • Touches or shows his/her private parts in front of you
  • Forces you to take off your clothes and exposes your body
  • Forces you to read pornographic materials
  • Forces you to take photos naked
  • Sexual intercourse

If you encounter sexual abuse, stay calm, say ‘NO’ firmly, get away from unsafe situation as soon as possible and tell a trusted adult.

For any queries, please talk to adults you trust such as family members, teachers and social workers.
