For children, there would be shows, plays, videotapes, etc. that teach children that they have the right to control their own bodies, to feel safe, and to not be touched in "bad" ways. It would stress that the child is not at fault. Children would be taught strategies for dealing with potential abusive situations.

For professionals, especially teachers, physicians, police officers, and mental health workers, there is education. They can be taught to be watchful for signs of sexual abuse, how to report if they suspect a child has been abused, and investigate reports of such abuse.
