In June of this year, the "Ten Year Observation Report on the Prevention of Sexual Assault by Chinese Minors" was released, and "gender awareness education" is increasingly being valued by people. Recently, the "Seven Colored Flowers" gender awareness education series of growth camps opened at the Zhuanqiao Minors Protection Workstation in Minhang District. The first growth camp launched a total of 6 courses for families aged 3-6 years old, and 11 groups of families obtained learning quotas through online "course grabbing". This afternoon, parents and children welcomed the closing ceremony.
It is reported that since 2016, Zhuanqiao Town in Minhang District has been committed to developing gender awareness and sex education courses for minors, actively paying attention to the gender development characteristics and psychological development of young children and adolescents at different stages of growth, and synchronously supporting guidance classes for parents on the physical and sexual psychological development process of children. Pilot teaching for different age groups has been carried out in four schools in Zhuanqiao Town, as well as participating in community organizations to carry out diverse forms of gender awareness experience activities, lecture courses, and outdoor parent-child interactions. The total number of sessions has exceeded 40, benefiting more than 1000 groups of families and more than 2000 people.

As a third-party organization, Cotton Candy Emotional Intelligence · Family Education Institution provides professional support for the "Seven Colored Flowers" gender awareness course in Zhuanqiao Town. In the past 8 years, it has cooperated with the Zhuanqiao Town Education Committee, Women's Federation, and Child Protection Station to gradually enrich and improve the curriculum system of gender awareness education for minors. It has developed a full series of courses for the age groups of 3-6, 7-12, and 13-18, actively guiding children and parents to scientifically understand the meaning of gender awareness education, cultivating a gender attitude based on respect and love, establishing correct gender roles and sexual awareness for minors, and teaching children to learn self-protection to prevent sexual assault incidents.
At the opening ceremony, Zhuanqiao Weibo Station presented parents and young children with books related to gender awareness education, such as "From diapers to dating" and "Xiao Wei rushes forward", and encouraged parents to actively share their learning gains after class. The family is the most important environment for children's growth, and the learning and growth of parents are also crucial. The entire learning process of the growth camp is conducted in the form of check-in and sharing, with the aim of promoting parents' learning of gender awareness education and facilitating communication between parents and children on relevant content.

The course takes children to understand gender in nature, and they actively share the differences between "boys" and "girls" in the animal kingdom. At first, the children expressed that the brightly colored ones were girls because they thought their mothers were more beautiful. Through learning, they realized that most animals and humans in nature are different.
In the class on July 21st, the teacher asked a question: "What are the body parts that children know?" The children actively spoke up, saying that the body organs have a heart, a nose, and eyes. Some children even said "there are white blood cells, red blood cells, and the back of the brain," which made parents burst into laughter. Afterwards, through the game of "listening to instructions to find parts", the children clearly learned that the area covered by underwear is the precious diamond part, which is the private part. The diamond part cannot be shown or touched by others, and cannot be discussed in public

This growth camp also selected 5 outstanding family representatives, who shared their learning experiences and gains at the graduation ceremony. Linda's father is an Italian friend, and his sharing has made everyone aware of the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, as well as the differences in family education and sexual awareness education for children.
Next, Zhuanqiao Town will continue to promote gender awareness education for minors, relying on one main platform for minors, 42 village family education guidance stations, and several venues and practice bases to continuously enrich and improve the content and form of gender awareness series courses, and carry out "growth camps" for different age groups in a circular manner. While ensuring that more minors receive gender awareness knowledge, Zhuanqiao Town will guide the individual growth of parents, and build a comprehensive, all age, and whole process "ecosystem" for the healthy growth of minors through family school community cooperation.
