In light of the #MeToo movement gaining momentum in India, schools in the country have decided to include seminars and talks on 'sexual harassment' and 'good touch, bad touch' as a part of the school curriculum from grades 3 to 12.
Meanwhile, in a suburban household..
Mom, dad! Today in school, our teachers announced that they will be teaching us all about good touch and bad touch. What do you think about that?
Oh wow! That's amazing!
Really? What does 'good touch, bad touch' even mean?
Well beta, as human beings, we experience two kinds of touches from people around us.
Oh! I did not know that.
ZZZZZ
Any touch that is made with consent and does not violate your personal space or makes you feel uncomfortable in any way is a 'good touch.'
Right! And what is a 'bad touch'?
ZZZZZ
Any touch that is made against your will, especially on your genitals and makes you feel uncomfortable in any way is a bad touch.
Oh my! I did not know this at all. And I'm in the 8th grade!
Well then. Isn't it a good thing your school is including this in your curriculum? Boys and girls both will benefit from this.
