CHILD PORNOGRAPHY

April 15, 2020

According to India Child Protection Fund (ICPF), online child pornography traffic after the lockdown in India has gone up by 95% as compared to average traffic before the lockdown.

About:

The spike in consumption indicates “millions of paedophiles, child rapists and child pornography addicts have migrated online, making the Internet extremely unsafe for children”.
As children spend more time online during the lockdown, paedophiles have increased activity to target children online to ‘groom’ them by befriending them on social media, building an emotional connection and luring them to perform sexual activities through photos and videos.
