Threat To Personal Security Rape
Hello class, today we will be talking about a very important topic that is “Threat To Personal Security – Rape”. Here are some important points to remember:
1. Rape is a form of sexual assault that involves non-consensual sexual activity with another person.
2. Rape can happen to anyone, regardless of their age, gender, or appearance.
3. Rape is never the victim’s fault. No one deserves to be raped, and no one asks for it.
4. Rapists often use physical force, threats, or intimidation to overpower their victims.
5. It’s important to understand what consent means. Consent means that both people involved in sexual activity agree to it willingly and enthusiastically.
6. Always say “no” if someone tries to touch you in a way that makes you uncomfortable.
