"This session was very informative and made me more aware of what’s acceptable and what’s not. I now know how to protect myself and what to do if I ever feel unsafe. The knowledge I gained from this workshop is something I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I feel much stronger and more confident about my personal safety."

"The workshop was an eye-opener for me. I learned about things I didn’t know before, like how to identify unsafe touch and what steps to take if something happens. It was comforting to know that there are ways to talk about it and get help. I now feel more confident in understanding and protecting my rights."
