Who's The Boss Of This Body


Book Description

Child sexual abuse occurs at alarming rates, yet many people find it challenging to discuss the topic with their children. Often parents and caregivers are afraid of scaring their child or introducing sex at a young age. The conversation is avoided and as a result, most childhood sexual abuse victims do not disclose their abuse in childhood. This book is an effort to make it easier for caregivers and children to talk about sexual abuse without scaring children, or prematurely giving them information on sex. It describes the "uh oh" feeling that causes children to freeze and normalizes this response, rather than shaming a child for not yelling and running away if abuse has happened. It also helps children and their parents to really understand what it means to be the Boss of Your Own Body and to understand that Secrets Are Not Safe.

I'm the Boss of My Body


Book Description

In the 21st Century children travel a fine line between innocence and becoming a victim of abuse. Every child has the right to help if they have been hurt, neglected or sexually abused whether they are a boy or a girl, rich or poor or where they live in the world. As an Educator I was inspired by parents of young children placed in my care to create a starting point, a way to approach the subject of bullying and sexual abuse with young children. The book is a resource to be read to children and then for children to read themselves. This book will stimulate questions and discussion to assist children to understand the difference between good and bad feelings, what is right and what is wrong, staying healthy and safe, and the importance of asking for help when they are at risk of harm or sexual abuse. It is important to inform children that abuse can occur anywhere, anytime, and by an adult or a child of any age. I hope the idea of "I'm Boss of my Body" will give children a voice, and that the person they turn to for help will have the strength and ability to advocate on their behalf to keep them safe. Suitable for children 4-7 years of age and over.

The Managed Body


Book Description

The Managed Body productively complicates ‘menstrual hygiene management’ (MHM)—a growing social movement to support menstruating girls in the Global South. Bobel offers an invested critique of the complicated discourses of MHM including its conceptual and practical links with the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) development sector, human rights and ‘the girling of development.’ Drawing on analysis of in-depth interviews, participant observations and the digital materials of NGOs and social businesses, Bobel shows how MHM frames problems and solutions to capture attention and direct resources to this highly-tabooed topic. She asserts that MHM organizations often inadvertently rely upon weak evidence and spectacularized representations to make the claim of a ‘hygienic crisis’ that authorizes rescue. And, she argues, the largely product-based solutions that follow fail to challenge the social construction of the menstrual body as dirty and in need of concealment. While cast as fundamental to preserving girls’ dignity, MHM prioritizes ‘technological fixes’ that teach girls to discipline their developing bodies vis a vis consumer culture, a move that actually accommodates more than it resists the core problem of menstrual stigma.
