Building Confidence, Not Fear

Over 70% of sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows — not a stranger in the shadows. The key to prevention lies in boundaries. Teaching people to recognise when something feels wrong, assert their personal limits, and project confidence can prevent situations from escalating.
