Today, we are going to delve into an essential topic: Erin’s Law. This law focuses on the prevention of sexual abuse and equips students with the knowledge to understand and recognize inappropriate behaviors. By the end of this lesson, you will understand the importance of this law and how it can empower you and your peers to speak up and seek help.
Imagine you just received a letter from a brave young girl named Erin. Erin wants you to have the tools to protect yourself and your friends from harm. She has seen and experienced things that no one should have to endure, but she believes that talking about it is the first step toward change.
Dear Students,
My name is Erin, and I have something important to share with you. I want to tell you about my story and how I became an advocate for children like you. For a long time, I felt lost and scared because of what happened to me. But it wasn’t until I found my voice that I realized I wasn’t alone.
Erin's Law was created to help children like us learn about boundaries, body autonomy, and what to do if we ever feel unsafe. It's not just a legal thing—it's about your voice and your right to feel safe and protected.
Together, we can learn how to stand up for ourselves and each other. So, are you ready to become part of this important mission?
With courage,
Erin
Now that you’ve heard Erin’s inspiring letter, let’s talk about what Erin’s Law includes and how it can help us create a safer environment for everyone. We’ll explore the key components of the law and learn about personal boundaries, consent, and how to report unsafe situations.
