The Good Touch Bad Touch Puppets Flipchart Project was developed as a way of communicating about sexual abuse to school aged children in Asia in a creative way.
After development of Good Touch Bad Touch, a draft of the flip chart was developed and piloted with 3 NGO’s. After product modifications, training was developed and conducted for NGOs and Schools.
This was then evaluated. The success of Good Touch Bad Touch has led to interest in other countries so a website is now developed for responsible NGOs to download and use.
