Poverty is the biggest factor determining the child trafficking which can be curbed substantially by the contribution of Media by spreading awareness through news and documentaries. This notion was discussed at Social Science and Humanities College at the ‘Role of Media in Combating Child Trafficking’ seminar.

The event organized with collaboration of Child Fund India, the chief speaker was member of Bal Kalyan Samiti Dharmesh Jain. Through case studies, he emphasized that despite of strict laws against child trafficking; the act is still prevalent due to negligence and unawareness.

Prof Farida Shah, Dean of college and Prof M.S Rathore imparted useful information about this practice. Senior Journalist Dr. Ravi Sharma said that the media has turned commercial in today’s world but putting the onus for curbing the social act entirely on the media isn’t right. Dr. Sharma appealed for the need of education and awareness in the society.
