In every apartment building, mostly residents are young family so there are many children. Therefore, the work of raising awareness to the people about coping skills and victim protection of children from sexual abuse is necessary and urgent. A sharing session of  promoting the protection of children from sexual assault was organized with a view to contributing to changing societal perceptions and minimizing the negative effects of sexual abuse.

Currently, apartment buildings, urban areas, the number of young households occupy the majority. This is also a place where residents are crowded, which means that young children can be sexually abused in many places, such as elevators, play areas, quiet areas, parks or even in stairs. It is therefore important for parents to understand their child’s prevention as well as to guide their children to prevent sexual abuse.

Take for example these, PhD. Manh Ha shared, “In the case of young children preparing to take the elevator, there is a man unknown to the young child should let the man go first. If you are in the elevator alone, but a man walks in and the man keeps staring at the panty space, the child must say straight: “I do not like that look,” and the child immediately needs to press the button. Open the next floor to go out or if you see a worse situation, you can press the yellow button (the rescue button) to warn the bad guys that there are many safeguards around the building. “
