Abstract
Child sexual abuse is a cross-cultural issue that can be found in all social institutions. There is increasing awareness of how this issue affects children in Malaysia. Issues pertaining to child sexual abuse can be addressed if children are empowered with preventive skills to avoid becoming victims of sexual crimes. In this paper, I examine how creative drama can be used to develop a child safety-related module with the goal of preventing sexual abuse. The use of the module has been found to help preschool children in mastering skills that may assist in the prevention of sexual abuse.
