About the Module
The basic necessities of mankind include food, clothing, and shelter. However, it is
not enough that you have these basic needs if you are living in fear and the
uncertainty of danger every day. Today, one rising necessity that you need to focus
is on safety.

You are always exposed to dangers, whether you are young or old, rich or poor. It
is therefore necessary that you are aware of what these possible dangers are, how
all of these can affect you, and how you can prepare yourself to prevent them from
happening or minimize their effects if they happen to you.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children around the world
have (a) rights to a safe environment and to protection from injury and violence.
Although the adults around you should protect you against any harm that may
threaten your safety and your life, you cannot rely on them all of the time. You
have the responsibility and capability of shielding yourself from the dangerous
world that we live in today.

This module focuses on intentional injuries that you may be exposed to. Through
proper information, this module aims to equip you with the knowledge and
understanding of the types of intentional injuries that might happen to you, as well
as its risks to your health. In the end, this module hopes that you will be able to
prevent intentional injuries, as well as maintain a healthful behavior that will
promote a culture of non-violence.

Consequently, this will serve you well through the activities that will not only keep
you informed but make you enjoy as well.

Stay safe! Be healthy!

What’s New & What Is It?

Suicide and Parasuicide

Suicide is the intentional taking of one’s own life. Many of those who attempt
suicide do not receive mental and emotional counselling because their families try
to hide the problem because they are ashamed of it.

On the other hand, a suicide attempt in which a person does not intend to die is
called parasuicide. It is often a cry for help meaning, parasuicide should be taken
seriously because it may also lead to death.

Know the Signs

Prevention first involves being able to recognize the warning signs of suicide, which
can include:
• talking about suicide or death
• writing farewell letters or giving away valuable things to their friends and
siblings
• showing changes in behavior, moods and feelings
• Withdrawing from friends and family
• Losing interest in activities
• Feelings of hopelessness

The following are some suicide prevention tips:

1. Don't disregard their feelings

 What’s New & What Is It?
Some examples of Violence

1. Domestic violence is an act that includes physical assault (hitting,

pushing, shoving, etc.), sexual abuse (unwanted or forced sexual activity),
and verbal abuse. These are behaviors that are used by one person in a
relationship who tries to control the other. This may occur to partners who
may be married or not married. They may be heterosexual or homosexual
(i.e., gay or lesbian) couples and may be living together, separated or dating.

2. Verbal abuse is a form of cruelty that involves the use of words. These
words are used to attack, control, and cause harm on another person. It
includes behaviors such as angry outburst, screaming rage, and name-
calling, which tends to blame, and brainwashes and threatens a person.
This is done because the goal of the verbal abuser is to control and sway the
victim.

What’s New & What Is It?

Types of Sexual Abuses:

1. Incest is sexual contact between persons who are so closely related that a
marriage between them is considered illegal (e.g., parents and children,
uncles/aunts, and nieces/nephews, etc.)

2. Molestation is the sexual abuse of a person (whether a child or adult) by an

adult for sexual pleasure or for profit. It may include any of the following:

• Child pornography – explicit portrayal of children as sexual subject

matter for purpose of sexual arousal. It may be in a variety of media, like
books, magazines, films, photos etc.

• Child prostitution – refers to children who get paid to have sex.

10
 3. Rape is forced sexual intercourse, including vaginal, anal, or oral
penetration. Penetration may be by a body part or an object.

The sexual act may also be considered rape if it satisfies any of the following
criteria:

• One or both people are not old enough to consent, which means one or both
are below 18 years old.

• One of them does not have the capacity to consent, which means one of
them may not be in his/her right mental and legal capacity to consent (i.e.,
with mental disability, people who have been drugged or unconscious, etc.)

• One of them did not agree to take part, which means the rapist might use
physical force or threat to force the victim to have intercourse with him/her.

If these three considerations are met, the sexual act falls under the category of
rape, which is a criminal offense, and it is punishable by law.

When it comes to sexual abuse, prevention is the key. Here are some tips that will
help to keep the children safe.

1. Learn as much information as you can about physical and sexual abuse.
