During the #Justice4EveryChild telethon, Sundar Krishnan, Director, Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation explains how can adults better monitor what the child is doing


We look at the child sexual abuse material issue from a completely different standpoint. We want to provide comprehensive suit of solutions when we look at this entire issue. We divide this into awareness and deterrence; detection and reporting; response and support. When we look at the prevention and deterrence part, we would like to provide tech solutions in the form of digital literacy, age detection tools and making sure that automatic filters are there. Similarly, at the awareness level, we have to disseminate information related to various trends that are emerging whether it could be in the form of sextortion, grooming which has become now quite a kind of a trend. Video streaming content and self-generated content, youngsters feel it's okay to share nude pictures online. We are seeing these trends in India as well. We must constantly monitor that.
