Challenge

Sexual harassment is a daily reality in Egypt. 2008 study 86.2% & 34% married women, 99% & 37.4% unmarried female youth respectively reported incidences of verbal & sexual harassment. This curriculum aims to intercept children at a young age to instill anti-abuse values, allowing them to refuse, advocate and report sexual abuse. Research shows it takes 18-224 days to change behavior. The curriculum is slowly teaching new habits, overwriting existing habits: by repetition over the school year
