Protective measures for the European Child protection day in the Wesel district

Kreis Wesel, Deutschland - in the Wesel district, November 18 is a striking day - the "European day to protect children from sexual exploitation and sexual violence". This important occasion was launched in 2015 and has established itself as a decisive platform for education and prevention. The initiative comes from the Council of Europe and deals more intensively than ever with the devastating topic of sexual abuse of children.

The fight against these terrible crimes not only requires legal measures, but also a social rethink: abuse can happen in many places - in your own four walls, in schools, daycare centers, clubs and above all on the Internet. Therefore, it is essential not only to know the strategies for perpetrators, but also to educate children in such a way that they can entrust themselves to their parents or other confidants. Here, appreciation, affection and respect play a central role. The trust in the children's own gut feeling must be strengthened to protect them from potential dangers.
