November is Child Abuse Prevention Promotion Month ［秋のこどもまんなか月間]
November is the "Orange Ribbon Campaign for the Prevention of Child Abuse". The Orange Ribbon carries the message "Preventionof Child Abuse". Child abuse is a problem that should be addressed and resolved by society as a whole.
■ Types of Child Abuse:Even if it is intended as "discipline", yelling, hitting, or any other verbal or violent behavior is abuse.
There are physical abuse (such as hitting or kicking), sexual abuse (such as sexual acts on the child)neglect(such as locking the child in the house) and psychological abuse (such as verbal threatsand other forms).
■ Preventing Child Abuse:
Early detection and response are impotant to prevent abuse.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have a child around you who you believe has been abused (contact can be made anonymously).
In addition, since problems with child rearing can lead to abuse, one way to prevent abuse is to seek advice when you haveproblems with child rearing or childbirth.
