Rajeev Juneja, CEO, Mankind Pharma, said, “For us responsibility towards the society comes first. As a part of our initiative, we want to inform and make the parents aware about the sharp rise in the content of child pornography and give a strong message to #ProtectChildhood. Through our campaign we request and urge the parents to not leave their children unattended and have complete control over their online activities. They should have regular conversations and build a friendly relationship with their children, and keep them informed of the current situation.  While the internet has many positives, it does have a dark side, and it’s the responsibility of the parents to not leave their children unsupervised.”

According to the reports submitted to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), more than 25,000 cases of suspected child pornography material were uploaded. The  reports suggest that there has been a sharp rise in child pornography content and sadly there has been a constant decrease in the age of the victims.
