India Is The World’s Worst Offender In The Issue Of Child Online Abuse.

India has recorded the highest incidents of child online abuse since the pandemic. These are alarming facts that need to be tabled by the community at large, by parents, schools and of course, shared sensitively with our children. There is an urgent need for healthy dialogue on the issue and all stakeholders are urged to join this fight against online child abuse. Shame and embarrassment will not prevent this, and in fact, tend to discourage both children and parents from bringing the issue to light. The only thing that will combat this is raising awareness and information, among India’s parents and children, as well as the general public. Without the support of the public, the issue will not go viral. And for urgent prevention, we need #SOS to go viral. That is the core of #SOS, our nationwide outreach that aims to create a safer world for our children. The #SOS Campaign is a collaborative initiative between Missing and CyberPeace, with PVR Nest, our communication partner.
