5-Step Safety Rule

• Step 1:
  • Scream! When you scream, everyone gets to know that you are scared, and they will help you.
  • Even if you are alone with the person who has touched you in an unsafe way, you must scream.
  • At times, screaming scares the person who is making you feel unsafe.
• Step 2:
  • Say NO loudly and clearly to the person from whom you are getting unsafe looks and touches.
  • Saying NO means, you do not like what that person is doing.
  • You should say to them that you will talk about that person to mummy.
• Step 3:
  • RUN to get away from the person as soon as you can.
  • Go to a trusted grown-up or a safe place.
  • For example: If the person is in the school toilet with you, run to the staff room where all the teachers are present.
• Step 4:
  • Tell a grown-up whom you love and trust.
  • You may be afraid to tell but you must.
  • Tell a loved one about the unsafe or uncomfortable touch or look.
  • It is important because only then can they help you be safe and feel good.
  • Remember, what happened is not your fault.
• Step 5:
  • Keep telling what had happened to a loved and trusted one until they believe you.
  • Sometimes they can be busy or may not hear you, but you should keep on telling them.
  • If one loved one does not listen to you or believe you, tell another.
  • Keep telling till a trusted one listens or believes you.

You can tell as many loved ones as you want.
