To help children understand good touch and bad touch, start with a clear and gentle explanation.
Good Touch: Good touches are touches that make you feel happy, loved, and comfortable. These are usually from people you trust, like a hug from a parent, a pat on the back from a teacher, or holding hands with a friend. These touches are okay because they make you feel safe.
Bad Touch: Bad touches are touches that make you feel sad, scared, or uncomfortable. If someone touches you in a way that makes you feel uneasy, it’s important to speak up. Your private parts, the areas covered by a swimsuit, are especially off-limits for others to touch, except when a parent or doctor is helping you stay clean and healthy.
Important Rules:
- Your body belongs to you. You have the right to say “No” if a touch makes you uncomfortable.
- If you ever feel unsure about a touch, tell a trusted adult like a parent, teacher, or relative immediately.
- Keep talking to adults you trust until you get the help you need.
Remember, good touches make you feel loved and safe, while bad touches make you feel uncomfortable. Always speak up if you’re unsure about a touch.

Feminism is a widely discussed and often misunderstood movement aimed at advocating for gender equality. One common misconception is that feminism believes in misandry ( loathing men ). This stems from the belief that elevating women means diminishing men, which is not the case. Feminism seeks to dismantle patriarchy that negatively affects all genders by imposing restrictive roles and expectations. Men, too, benefit from feminism as it promotes emotional expression, paternity leave, and the dismantling of toxic masculinity.
Another prevalent misconception is that feminism is a monolithic movement. In reality, feminism is diverse, encompassing various waves and schools of thought, such as liberal, radical, intersectional, and eco-feminism, each with unique focuses and methodologies. Intersectional feminism, for instance, emphasizes the overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination faced by individuals based on race, class, sexual orientation, and more.
Some believe feminism is obsolete, arguing that gender equality has been achieved. While significant strides have been made, gender disparities persist globally in areas such as pay equity, reproductive rights, and representation in leadership roles. Feminism remains crucial in addressing these ongoing issues.
Lastly, feminism is often perceived as a Western concept. However, feminist movements exist worldwide, each addressing specific cultural and societal challenges. Global feminism acknowledges these diverse struggles and strives for a more inclusive approach to gender equality.
By dispelling these misconceptions, the true essence of feminism as a movement for equality and justice for all genders can be better understood.
