Concept of abuse and types
Pedagogical guide for educator
This exercise is formed by two activities to introduce AAWID to the concept and types of abuse.
Activity 1: What does it mean the concept of "abuse"?
The exercise has been designed to be done in individually or by groups, by asking to AAWID to reflect and answer about several general questions related to the general concept of "abuse".
The exercise contains also 5 pictograms representing abusive conducts.
Activity 2: What types of abuse do you know?
In the same way of the previous activity, participants have to name the types of abuse they know (physical, sexual, psychological, economic, abandon….).
Educator will try that no abuse is left outside. It might be used visual supports to list all types of abuse.
Note: These two activities might not be suitable for AAWID with previous experiences of abuse.
