[For Women of China]

Wusu People's Procuratorate recently organized a course, for principals, counselors and psychology teachers of kindergartens in Wusu, a city in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, aimed at preventing sexual assaults against minors.

The autonomous region launched a special action in February to combat sexual assault against minors, and to protect their safety and physical and mental health.

The procuratorate organized various sex-health publicity and education activities earlier this year, including compiling a girls' protection handbook and distributing 38,000 copies of that handbook to kindergartens and primary and middle schools in the city. Also, a course was developed to teach kindergarten children how to protect themselves.

The program's organizers will conduct relevant courses in various primary and middle schools in the near future.
