The Commission and Prasar Bharti Corporation with support from UNICEF have jointly developed and designed a Guidebook for the Media on Sexual Violence against Children. This Guidebook aims to facilitate media intervention to protect the rights of children against sexual violence.
This Guidebook is meant for professionals working in the media, including media administrators, journalists - Print/TV/Radio and Internet, documentary film-makers, software producers, advertising agencies, public interest programme producers and internet content providers.
This guidebook hopes to encourage media professional to address the issue of sexual violence against children in a consistent, sensitive and effective manner, consonant with the rights and best interests of children.
It is the culmination of four workshops organized by the NHRC and Prasar Bharti, with support from UNICEF, for radio and television producers. Each workshop lasted for four days. Over 200 people have contributed to the development of this guidebook.
