The Superhero is You!
Jasmine Abraham

In this very important book for parents, caregivers and educators to share with children, the author lays down 10 rules on how children can understand and recognise sexual abuse and what they should do about it. Colourful illustrations and text in both English and Urdu explain the concepts of safe and unsafe touch, warning signs that a child has been molested, and how to ask for help. The book ends with contact information for organisations and helplines working to protect children in Pakistan.
