About how to educate middle school students on sexual assault prevention

1. Provide students with necessary sexual knowledge education and sexual assault prevention education

The reason why underage students rarely resist sexual assaults from teachers is that they fear teachers In addition to reasons such as being weak and weak, their knowledge about sex is relatively poor, and their knowledge and skills about preventing sexual assault are also important reasons.

Providing students with appropriate sexual knowledge education and sexual assault prevention education has long been included in the national education plan and syllabus. The "Guideline for Public Safety Education in Primary and Secondary Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education in March 2007 requires that primary school students in grades 4-6 should understand the general methods of responding to sexual assault, improve their self-protection capabilities, and have a preliminary understanding of the basics of pubertal development. Develop a clear awareness of gender and self-protection; junior high school students must learn basic skills to respond to emergencies such as sexual assault, understand the prevention and treatment of common adolescent problems, develop a sense of responsibility for maintaining reproductive health, and understand basic common sense and preventive measures for HIV/AIDS. Form a sense of self-protection; high school students must master the basic knowledge and measures to prevent AIDS, treat HIV-infected and patients correctly, learn healthy ways of interacting with the opposite sex, learn to use appropriate methods to protect themselves, prevent sexual assault, and when they are sexually harassed , we must use the law to protect ourselves. The "Guidelines for Health Education in Primary and Secondary Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education in December 2008 stipulates that first and second grade students in primary schools must know the relevant knowledge of "where do I come from"; third and fourth grade students must understand the functions of the main organs of the body and learn how to Protect yourself; fifth- and sixth-grade students must know the characteristics of pubertal growth and development, the differences between male and female teenagers in puberty, menarche and its significance for girls, first spermatorrhea and its significance for boys, personal hygiene knowledge in adolescence, etc.; in junior high school, they must learn to identify prone to sex Risk factors for sexual assault and protect yourself from sexual assault; high school students must understand that premarital sex seriously affects the physical and mental health of adolescents, avoid premarital sex, and understand AIDS prevention knowledge and methods. The above two "Outlines" clearly put forward the goals and content of sex education at each age stage, providing guidance for primary and secondary schools to carry out sex knowledge education and sexual assault prevention education.

In the process of providing sex education to students, schools must first focus on making underage students understand the meaning of privacy rights, bodily autonomy, and sexual assault, so that students understand that their bodies are their own and no one is allowed to do so at will. Touch; one's own body can be divided into "touchable areas" and "untouchable areas". For "untouchable areas", especially private parts, except for a few cases such as parents bathing themselves or doctors checking the body, You should refuse any touching; for physical contact that makes you feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable, no matter who the other person is, you can refuse to be touched or approached; if someone touches you and instructs or even threatens you to "keep it a secret", then Don't be afraid, be sure to tell a parent, a trusted teacher, or another adult, or things will only get worse. Secondly, schools should let underage students understand that sexual assault on minors not only seriously damages their physical and mental health, but also seriously violates the law and should be severely punished by law. Thirdly, schools should also teach underage students the knowledge and skills to prevent sexual assault and implement self-protection. For example, they should educate students that strangers or acquaintances may be perpetrators of sexual assault; they should go out, go to school or go home with others. When doing so, don’t stay in a deserted place; don’t close the door when you’re alone with the opposite sex, and don’t go to the opposite sex’s dormitory alone; don’t easily accept drinks and food from strangers or others; be loud when others want to sexually assault you. When calling, you can use the following methods to defend yourself while ensuring your own safety: poke the opponent's eyes with your fingers, bump the opponent's crotch with your knee (the first two can be done at the same time), slam the opponent's chest with your elbow, and wait for an opportunity to escape quickly; once If you are unfortunately sexually assaulted, you should tell your parents or teachers in time, and do not rush to clean your body. You should pay attention to retaining relevant evidence, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner according to the arrangements of the relevant departments.

2. Strictly control the entrance of teachers

For students, infringements from teachers are often difficult to prevent.

For example, it stipulates that teachers should try their best to avoid physical contact with students (except for individual tutoring and protection by teachers in physical education classes), especially for students of the opposite sex; students should not be allowed to leave the classroom at will during class; students should be talked or tutored individually , can only be carried out in public places such as classrooms, conference rooms, offices, etc., and the door must not be closed; without the presence of a third party, teachers are not allowed to leave members of the opposite sex alone in classrooms, offices, or other relatively closed places. Students should conduct talks or tutoring; after school, international students should obtain the consent of the students’ parents in advance and notify the class teacher or other teachers in charge, etc. The school regulates and manages teachers' words and deeds, reduces and eliminates the time and space conditions for accidents, and protects students' safety to the greatest extent. In addition, schools can also conduct regular questionnaire surveys to students, students' parents and even the community to evaluate teachers' education, teaching and ethics, and strengthen the supervision and management of teachers from all aspects.

5. Correctly handle cases of sexual assault on campus

If unfortunately a case of underage students being sexually assaulted at school occurs, the school should attach great importance to it, and in the spirit of caring for students and Have a highly responsible attitude toward society and adopt appropriate response strategies in a timely manner.

(1) Protect the scene and immediately report the case to the higher-level education administration department and public security agency

In the past, after incidents of teachers sexually assaulting students occurred in individual schools, due to various considerations ( For example, for fear of affecting the reputation of the school, affecting the school's participation in the evaluation of advanced grades, etc.), school leaders are often reluctant and do not actively report the case immediately. Instead, they try their best to conceal the report, delay the report, or wait passively and let it go. They believe that whether to report the case should be left to the parents of the victimized students. The decision has nothing to do with the school. Some school leaders even overstepped their authority and urged the parents of the victimized students to have a "private settlement" with the abusive teacher, with the intention of "digesting the case internally." This approach is very wrong. It should be noted that sexual assault of underage students has constituted an illegal crime and should be prosecuted by judicial organs to hold the offenders legally accountable. The school's concealment and delay in reporting are a form of protection and connivance for the perpetrators, as well as indifference and harm to the victims. It is a seriously irresponsible and illegal act. Not only that, such an approach may also make the perpetrator sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire of illegal crimes, thereby causing the victim student to suffer greater harm or causing other students to suffer new harm. When it comes to treating and handling sexual assault cases on campus, schools should put aside all selfish concerns and put the dignity of the law and the safety of students first. In view of this, the "Report on the Incidents of Teacher Rape and Molestation of Students in Liaoning and Other Places by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Justice" clearly stated that when sexual crimes endangering students occur in schools, they must immediately report to their superiors and the public security department. , actively assist the public security and judicial departments in detecting cases as soon as possible and punishing criminals; those who shirk responsibilities and delay reporting must be held administratively accountable, and those who shield criminals and conceal things without reporting must resolutely pursue the legal responsibilities of relevant leaders and relevant responsible persons in accordance with the law. .

(2) Protect and help victimized students

While reporting cases, schools should also do a good job in protecting victimized students. In view of the sensitivity of sexual assault cases, school insiders should pay special attention to protecting the privacy of the victimized students and shall not disclose the victim's name and relevant case information to unrelated persons to prevent them from being harmed multiple times. In addition, since the impact of sexual assault cases on the victimized students cannot be eliminated in the short term, the school should also use appropriate methods to provide them with more psychological and academic support on the basis of maintaining the child's privacy and dignity and taking into account the child's feelings. Provide more care and support, encourage and help them get out of the shadows as soon as possible and return to normal life. The college entrance examination memorizes, listen and memorize
