On The 12 Days of Training....
Day 3
August 18
Today we had 100 primary students from 10 government schools going through four different stations designed by Dr. Laila Risgallah Founder and President of Not Guilty. The kids learned about their basic needs, they learned about them work, they learned that everyone is unique and that we need each other. At the end of that particular station, every kids gets a crown with his/her positive characteristics written on it. This is a very emotional moment both to the kids and the trainer. Most of these kids come from abusive families were they have never been told that they are special. The last station is about what to do when bullied …Read tomorrow, who is the most important person in the whole world.
Not Guilty is a nationwide campaign committed to bring an end to sexual abuse in Egypt through awareness, education, media and support programs

Day 1
August 7
Training of trainers for 40 teachers from 10 Egyptian government schools.
“You have reminded us of morals and ethics that we forgot about long ago”.
This is what one of the teachers said as Not Guilty trained them on Empathy and Anger management. This is one of 12 days training that Not Guilty is doing in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, ADEW, ALWAN and AWTAR, Bashkateb and Tanweer.
The Not Guilty trainer, Dr. Amany Ishac is a medical doctor and a trauma therapist who has many years of experience.
The day started by talking about the basic needs of human beings. They realized that as human beings we all have the same needs. Then we proceeded to the Joharry window where people have four rectangles: one where the person and other know about you, the next where others know about you and you don’t, third where you know and others don’t, fourth where neither you nor others know about you. Tomorrow read why one of the teachers cried…

Training # 1
Date: July 13th, 2016
Location: Patronage
Trainer: Isis Nassif
Summary:
On July 13th, a group of Not Guilty staff went to the Patronage in Heliopolis to conduct a Training for Trainers (TOT). This training hosted about 50 women who work directly with children on a daily basis. The women were eager to learn certain signs children display that may act as a reflection of past or current sexual abuse. The trainer, Isis Nassif, is a well-known licensed counselor of 24-year experience with those affected by sexual abuse. She explained that an abuser is usually someone well known to the child and not a stranger as normally assumed. She also explained how to deal with situations where there may be doubt of past or present abuse based on the child’s behavior. To conclude, she explained the importance of affirming and believing the child if he/she were to claim that an abuse took place.
Questions from the attendees ranged from scenario-specific ones to clarification on certain points discussed in lecture. In answering their questions, Isis stressed the importance of staying calm, not drawing factual conclusions, and teaching the child main prevention principles. Those are: say NO, run and leave, and tell someone you trust. The event was a success and triggered a natural interest in the audience as their knowledge grew.
Afterwards one of those that attended the TOT talked privately with a Not Guilty staff member and shared a story of a girl who used to mentally freeze and sweat at the sight of the bus she took daily to school. The girl shared that one of her friends on the bus used to touch her in her private parts while on their commute to school. When the girl told her parents, they didn’t believe her. The attendee of the TOT realized from the lecture that this girl needs someone to believe her testimony and therefore decided to believe the girl and also explain to her parents that action needed to be taken.
