10 simple things you can do to reduce child sexual abuse:

1. Teach your child Body Safety from 2.5 years old (www.e2epublishing.info)
2. Talk to other families about the importance of teaching their children Body Safety.
3. Ask your child's school/kindergarten if they teach Body Safety. If not, lobby for it.
4. Share Body Safety articles and blogs with friends/family on Facebook.
5. Lobby your local member to mandate the teaching of Body Safety in all schools and kindergartens.
6. Stay alert to any warning signs that a child you know may be being abused (see http://eZepublishing.info/blog/)
7. Believe a child when they disclose abuse-your initial reaction is crucial.
8. Promote conversations about Body Safety in your community-so we are all looking out for children.
9. Follow organisations protecting children from sexual abuse on Facebook-they need support.
10. Speak Up about child sexual abuse-perpetrators want us to be silent so their secret remains hidden.
