The document discusses the important role that media plays in protecting children and raising awareness of children's issues. It outlines how media can help prevent child abuse by bringing issues to light and holding agencies accountable. Media can also educate the public on children's rights and emerging issues through reporting, campaigns, documentaries, and engaging directly with organizations like UNICEF. Using all forms of media from print to television to social media allows effective outreach to different groups to promote child protection.

You may have heard the famous saying of George Bernard Shaw - “To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching.” As a civilization, we in India have always placed teachers in the highest echelons, next to God. And why not?
A teacher plays a crucial role in the life of an individual. A good teacher occupies a very significant and pious place in the minds of young students. After parents, it is the teacher who influences a child most, and contributes to the shaping of his or her personality.
As you are well aware, children in every society face abuse, violence and exploitation. If you only look around you, you will see it. Little children engaged in labour and deprived of schooling – many of them bonded-parents beating their children, teachers beating children in the classroom or discriminating against them because of their caste or religion, girl children not being allowed to be born or killed soon after birth, or facing discrimination in the family and society because they are girls, early marriage, rape and incest...
Yes, this is the reality of many children’s lives. Some of them may be in your class or your school.
As a teacher what will you do when you see a child being abused and exploited or hear about it?

The present status report includes issues of rights to survival and development, these being health, early childhood development and education. A major section is devoted to child protection since the issues to be addressed are far too many. While there is a chapter dedicated to violence against children, separate chapters deal with child sexual abuse, juvenile justice, child labour and trafficking. The last two years have seen large scale de-housing of children and their families. As an addition this time we have included a section on right to adequate housing as it is a right that cuts across survival, development and protection issues. Given that a large number of children are growing in situations of emergency – human made or natural, it was critical to address their situation separately. Even as we write this report a new disaster has struck the country. Thousands have died or been rendered homeless in Jammu & Kashmir due to the earthquake. The rights of the disabled child have always been marginalised. But since little has changed since our last report, we have addressed issues of disability in the chapters on health and education.

The Honourable Clifton De Coteau, Minister of Gender, Youth and Child Development speaks at the launch of the Break the Silence Campaign, on ending Child Sex Abuse
The concept of children‟s participation has evolved over the last decade but the notion, either in theory or in practice, has not been able to make a significant dent in the collective mindset of the social and political institutions and the individuals who comprise of them. Most initiatives and interventions have arguably been confined to children‟s rights organizations and activists, and need to be appreciated and accepted by the mainstream society and the state in order to be scaled up. This is largely because of a lack of conceptual understanding and the appreciation of the value and practicability of children‟s participation.

Altruism in Society Campaign and Presentation
Introduction
The aim of the paper will be to analyze child abuse. The history of the social problem, impact, persuasion campaigns, altruistic behavior and impact of the intervention methods will also be provided. Child abuse has become a common social phenomenon that is worth addressing. Unless the intervention strategies and persuasive elements are utilized, minimizing the incidences of child abuse will be a major challenge.
Nature and history of your issue
The society is grappling with the increased rates of child abuse. The phenomenon has been attributed to a rise in poverty levels and domestic violence. Child abuse takes different forms, which include inflicting pain through beating, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and child labor. The history of child abuse can be traced to the 18th century, especially during the industrial revolution (Bragg, 2003). Children were perceived as the source of cheap labor, therefore, were high demand in industries. Today, through concerted efforts of various government and human rights activists, the explicit forms of child abuse have been on the decrease. However, issues of child neglect, emotional abuse, and child labor remain a significant challenge.
According to the 2013 National Statistics on Child Abuse (NSCA), it was estimated that about 1,520 children below the age of 18 died of child abuse. The NSCA report indicated that close to 3.1 million children in the country were victims of maltreatment. As a result, the children received preventative services from various Child agencies in the U.S. close to 80% of the cases were related to child neglect. The report indicated that 2% of the children were victims of sexual abuse while 18% suffered physical abuse. Additionally, the report noted that both parents caused most of the violations.
In 2014, there was a rise in the number of children receiving emotional support from the Child Protective Services compared to the previous. Despite the child abuse campaigns, statistics indicated that cases of child neglect were still on the rise. In 2014, the victims of sexual abuse were more compared to those of physical abuse. It was reported that more than 205,438 were victims of sexual abuse compared to 60,897, who were the victims of physical abuse.
Contrary to the belief that strangers propagate ill-treatment of children, specifically sexual assault, studies provide a different perspective. It is reported that most of the abuses are committed by people who are close to the children, including their parents and close relatives (Sherman &.Holden, 2009) Demanding careers and poverty are some of the major issue factors contributing to child abuse. As mentioned before, neglect has been on the rise. Thi.
25 Years of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: Is the World a better ...UNICEF Publications
A collection of essays and viewpoints marking the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. There is much to celebrate since the Convention was adopted in 1989, from declining infant mortality to rising school enrolment. But this milestone must serve as an urgent reminder of the millions of children not yet reached – and an opportunity to find new ways of reaching them.
2. UNICEF uses the term ‘child protection’ :
preventing and responding to violence,
exploitation and abuse against children-
including commercial sexual exploitation,
trafficking,
child labour and harmful traditional practices,
such as female genital mutilation
cutting and child marriage.
3. Child Protection is a concept that aims to
protect children from all forms of abuse,
violence , effects of war and conflict,
neglect and abandonment, discrimination
and exploitation. It also includes the
provision of comprehensive care and/or
rehabilitation when necessary, particularly to
victims of child abuse and neglect.
4. Children's Education in India
The majority of children are enrolled in school, but up to half don't
attend regularly. Many are pressured to work and earn money for their
families.
Child Labour in India
Official figures indicate that there are over 12 million child workers in
India, but many NGOs reckon the real figure is up to 60 million. The
number of girls involved is not much lower than the boys.
The largest, numbers work in places like textile
factories, dhabas (roadside restaurants) and hotels, or as domestic
workers. Much of the work, such as in firecracker or matchstick
factories, can be hazardous; even if not, conditions are often appalling
and simply rob kids of their childhood.
By a law introduced in 2006, no child under 14 should work. But like
many laws in India, the problem is enforcement. 2 years after the ban
the Labour Ministry had carried out 12,000 operations but only made
211 prosecutions.
5. Child Abuse in India
In 2007 the Indian Government published the results of one of the
world's largest and most sophisticated studies on child abuse, carried
out in conjunction with UNICEF and Save the Children. This detailed
research on over 12,000 children produced some shocking conclusions:
Two thirds of children are victims of physical abuse. The majority are
beaten in school, and over half have to work seven days a week.
Over 50% have faced some kind of sexual abuse, and over 20% of them
severe abuse.
Half of children also face emotional abuse.

6. Children in India -The Statistics
There are 440 million children in India over all 42 to 45% covered.
And what sort of life do these children have as they grow up? Well,
they face some of the toughest challenges of anyone:
Health for Children in India
About 27 million children are born each year in India. But nearly 2
million of them do not live to the age of five.
Due to malnourishment. India has over 200 million people in hunger,
and over 40% of the children who do live till 5 are malnourished.
Immunization is very low by world standards.
79% of children under 3 have anemia. Half of children have reduced
learning capacity because of iodine deficiency
7. Violations of the child’s right to protection take
place in every country and are massive, under-
recognized and under-reported barriers to child
survival and development, in addition to being
human rights violation.
UNDER THIS CIRCUMSTANCES……..

14. Media coverage helps to raise awareness of children issue of great public
interest among victims and parents.
Media plays an important role in prevention and in highlighting new and
emerging child issues in the community.
The media can also hold agencies and policy makers to account when necessary.
Media also plays the role of scrutinizing of a situation involving the death or
injury of a child, all should respect the rights and dignity of the children and
the families involved in the community.
Media professionals play a critical role in ensuring that children and their rights
and needs do not get lost or overlooked.
Media professionals can make a difference for children through ethical,
objective and accurate reporting on issues relating to children.
15. Media must not just report fairly, honestly and accurately on the experience of
childhood, but they must also provide space for the diverse, colorful and creative
opinions of children themselves.
Media professionals also engage directly with UNICEF. Their contributions
include:
Registering for UNICEF accreditation;
Participating in our media networks;
Developing in-depth reports through one-on-one interviews;
Learning about and helping other media professionals learn about ethical
guidelines for reporting on children, and donating their stories, blogs,
photographs and other media resources .
Media Plays a dominant role in Public outreach through publicity.
