Tanisha Mukherjee spoke to the media in Pune on Wednesday about the ‘Good Touch Bad Touch’ program being implemented through the Gravittus Foundation, an initiative by Usha Kakade. Mukherjee appreciated the work of Usha Kakade and the foundation by saying that the important work of awakening the sense of touch in children is going on by implementing this activity in schools. On this occasion, Kakade welcomed Mukherjee by presenting a booklet containing an account of Gravitas Foundation and the ‘Good Touch Bad Touch’ initiative.

Tanisha Mukherjee said, “Incidents of violence against children and women are sad. To prevent this violence, it is equally important to create awareness in the society along with the implementation of law. Often, attempts are made to suppress such incidents. Children never lie. So parents, teachers should have regular communication with children. We should listen. We should have an open dialogue. We have a right to our body. So we should react to the touch that we don’t like. Let the trustworthy person know about this. I myself will participate in this activity. In the coming time, emphasis will be on creating awareness about good touch and bad touch.”

Usha Kakade said, “After the Nirbhaya incident in Delhi, we took up this initiative out of social consciousness. Initially, there was some rejection from schools and parents. But later this initiative became very successful. Through Gravitas Foundation, this initiative is being started in various schools in Pune. So far, 4.5 lakh students have been given awareness of good touch bad touch. A team of trained volunteers work on it. Many incidents are coming to light and measures are being taken. A short film ‘Udne Do’ has been created for awareness. We will also approach the government for this movement’s nationwide expansion.”
