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
on is 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 right 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, we hope that you will be able to prevent
intentional injuries, as well as maintain a healthful behavior that will promote a
culture of non-violence.

This module hopes to serve you well through the activities that will not only keep
you informed but help you enjoy as well.

Stay safe! Be healthy!

 What’s New & What Is It?

Bullying

Bullying is an unwanted, aggressive behavior. The behavior is repeated, or can be

repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have
problems.

There are different classifications of bullying. There are:

• Verbal bullying – saying or writing mean and nasty things.

• Social bullying -sometimes referred to as relational bullying – hurting

someone’s reputation or relationships.

• Physical bullying – hurting a person’s body or destroying his/her

possessions.

• Cyberbullying – verbal and social bullying done through use of technology

and electronic means.

Stalking

Stalking is a pattern of behavior that makes feel afraid, nervous, harassed, or in

danger. It is when someone repeatedly contacts you, follows you, sends you things,
and talks to you, even when you do not want them to.

Extortion

Extortion is an act of using force or threats to force people to hand over their
money or properties, on favors. Extortion can happen outside or near the schools
wherein children are victimized to give to give up their allowances, in exchange for
the promise that they will not be beaten up.

Gang and Youth Violence

A gang is defined as a relatively tough, mostly street-based group of young people

who regard themselves and may be seen by others as a group that engages in
range of criminal activity and violence. Oftentimes, they conflict with other similar
gangs.

Risk and Protective Factors Related to Intentional Injuries

Risk factors are characteristics linked with youth violence, but they are not direct
causes of youth violence. A combination of individual, relationship, community,
and societal factors contribute to the risk of youth violence.

 • Poor behavioral control
• Involvement with drugs, alcohol, or tobacco
• Exposure to violence and conflict in the family
• Poor monitoring and supervision of children
• Low parental involvement
• Low emotional attachment to parents
• Involvement in gangs
• Social rejection by peers
• Socially disorganized neighborhoods
• Poor academic performance

Protective factors may lessen the likelihood of youth violence victimization.

Identifying and understanding protective factors are equally as important as
researching risk factors.
• High educational aspirations
• Positive social orientation
• Religious Beliefs
• Connectedness to family or adults outside the family
• Consistent presence of parents
• Ability to discuss problems with parents.

1. identify protective factors related to intentional injuries;

2. share knowledge about proper self-defense techniques in order to avoid

becoming a victim; and
3. create a bookmark stating preventive measures of intentional injuries.

What’s In

Activity no. HQ 4.12: My Protection Rights

Read the article presented. Then answer the guide questions that follow. Here is an
excerpt from the United Nations’ The Conventional on the Rights of the Child. It
focuses on articles regarding protection rights of children to keep them safe from
harm.

Article 19 (Protection from all forms of violence): Children have the right to
be protected from being hurt and mistreated, physically, or mentally.
Governments should ensure that children are properly cared for and protect
them from violence, abuse and neglect by their parents, or anyone else who looks
after them. In terms of discipline, the Convention does not specify what forms of
punishment parents should use. However, any form of discipline involving
violence is unacceptable. There are ways to discipline children that are effective
in helping children learn about family and social expectations for their behavior –
ones that are non-violent, are appropriate to the child’s level of development and
take best interests of the child into consideration.

Article 34 (Sexual exploitation): Government should protect children from all

forms of sexual exploitation and abuse.
Article 35 (Abduction, sale, and trafficking): The government should take all
REFLECTIONS:
measures possible to make sure that children are not abducted, sold or
trafficked.

11
Guide Questions:

1. Do you think the Philippine government has done its duty of protecting the
welfare of children, against violent actions and behavior resulting to
intentional injuries? Cite examples to support your answer.

2. If you were given the chance to talk to government officials in keeping you
safe from intentional injuries, what would you say to them?

What’s New & What Is It?

For cases of assault and abuse

In order to prevent becoming a victim of assault and abuse, one important

consideration is knowing the proper self-defense techniques which involve
physical, mental, and emotional assertiveness. These are the following:

• Self-esteem – having self-confidence that will make you less likely to be

chosen as an easy target.

• Assertiveness – having a bold confident behavior, like speaking with

conviction, may prevent a physical attack. Since many attackers want easy
victims they can overpower quickly, saying forcefully phrases like “Leave me
alone” may surprise an attacker before s/he can make a move.

• Body language – making direct eye contact and using a strong voice are
some actions that can send off a message to the attacker that you are aware
of how to take care of your safety and that you will not be victimized easily.

• Intuition – one important rule is that if you sense danger, of if you sense
that something is wrong about to happen, you should immediately get away.

• A self-protective attitude – most important of all, you must realize that

you are worthy and have a right to be treated with respect. Being safe is
your right,
but it is also your responsibility.
