No one should face this.

We teach children to look both ways before crossing the street, to wash their hands before eating, and to never talk to strangers. But when it comes to understanding their own bodies, boundaries, and relationships, many adults hesitate. Why is knowledge about the self—one’s body, emotions, and autonomy—treated as something to be learned later, rather than alongside other fundamental life lessons? Sex education in childhood is not just about biology; it is about self-awareness, respect, and protection. When we delay these conversations, we risk leaving children unprepared for the world they are already growing up in.

I was a victim of molestation in childhood which I was not even aware at that point. Later, I realized watching a series named "Sex Education". Where a female character goes through same incident happened to me when 12 years old in a crowded train. At that age I thought it was normal in crowded train to someone press themselves behind. I felt uncomfortable, there were so many people around me maybe they noticed maybe didn't. I didn't tell my father at that moment because I thought it was normal. I always traveled in Bongaon Local train, it was normal to be crowded. After that almost 4 years later, I was watching a series "Sex Education". I saw the same thing happening with a female character and I realized.. It was not normal, nothing was normal. A man jizzed on me. I was too young to understand that. I felt disgusted and shocked. I never told anyone about it ever.

From this experience I think giving children sexual education is must. Maybe somewhere my parent lacked in teaching me, my teachers they also failed. If they taught me about these I'd have screamed that day or would've told my father everything or would've slapped that man. I couldn't, but I don't want others to face this as well.
