Here's a bedtime story that can stop child abuse.

Children between the ages of 2-5 can't distinguish between intimacy that's right and intimacy that's wrong. 
It makes it hard to help them recognize abuse, especially when the perpetrator is someone they know. That's why we developed the Underwear Rule. A rule that every child, no matter how young, can understand. The Underwear Rule was rolled out across Europe by the Council of Europe. The campaign also gave me the opportunity to write my first children's book, a bedtime story to help protect the most vulnerable of all. Launching the book in Rome in 2010 together with Italian Minister for Equal Opportunity, Maria Carfagna, was an incredibly special moment in my career.
