Abstract Sexual abuse is defined as inappropriate adolescent or adult sexual behavior with a child. It includes fondling a child's genitals, making the child fondle and adult's genitals, intercourse, incest, rape, sodomy, exhibitionism, sexual exploitation, or exposure to pornography. Sexual abuse may be committed by a person under age 18 when that person is either significantly older than the victim or is in a position of power or control over the child. Sexual abuse may take place within the family, by a parent's boyfriend or girlfriend, or at the hands of adult caretakers outside the family, for example, a family friend or babysitter. Adults who sexually abuse children mostoften know and have a relationship with the child.This is common and when these manifest, we need to re-direct the child's attention, clearly informing the child about concepts like ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch’.Children must know that no one is ever allowed to touch their private parts, and that it is important to keep these areas covered and safe in public spaces (which includes school too). It is also important to teach children about respect for ‘body space’. The Present study aims to assess the effectiveness of STP on knowledge regarding good touch and bad touch. One group pretest and post test design was adopted with purposive sampling and the structured teaching Programme on Good touch and Bad touch was imparted. After education, the Post test knowledge was assesed. The result shows that mean Post test knowledge score was higher than mean Pre test score.
