Abuse prevention is crucial for creating safe environments for everyone, especially vulnerable populations like children and the elderly. It involves a combination of education, awareness, and proactive measures to identify and stop abuse before it occurs.
Education is a key component. Teaching individuals about the different forms of abuse—physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect—helps them recognize the signs and understand the impact. Schools, community centers, and workplaces can offer programs that educate people on how to spot and report abuse.
