Important To Learn To Counter Abuse At An Early Age- National NGO Children who grow up in a shelter home are as it is at a disadvantage compared to the children who grow up in a family atmosphere. But the shelter homes like the NationalNGODelhi make it a point to provide a homely atmosphere as far as possible. Also they are taught some basic life values that usually parents would give to their children. One among them is how to counter abuse. The children are vulnerable and these destitute at the shelter homes are more so. People can take advantage of their situation and abuse them in different ways like sexually, physically, mentally or emotionally.
If children of any age are abused in any way they need to counter such abuse. They can do so only if they are properly trained to do so. At National NGOthe caretakers and the staff educate the children on this matter. First of all, they are made aware of as to what is abuse and its different kinds. They are then prepared to face any such situation with confidence and overcome any kind of fear and threat. In case they face such a situation they are guided as to how, where and to whom they should report about the abuse and also who as abused them.
At the National NGO complaints of any kind by the children are taken seriously and due action is taken against the perpetrators. This makes all the children more confident to report and not bear any kind of injustice meted out to them. This also inculcates into them a feeling of belonging as they would in a family. Thus they also get a feel of a family when such care and understanding is shown to them. This goes a long way in building their character and is a step forward in making them learn valuable lessons in life and also face the world with confidence and without much dependence on anyone.
