"A child’s safety online is not optional; it is a right. Ending impunity for online offenders is how we transform the digital world into a place of protection, not fear. The Child Protection Unit at the Telangana Cyber Bureau, supported by ICP, is a proven model of accountability and justice, one that must be replicated across the nation to end impunity and protect every child online," said Ms. Sampurna Behura @BehuraSampurna , Executive Director, India Child Protection (ICP) at Shield 2026, Telangana.

“Unchecked AI interactions can deeply impact a child’s emotional well-being, sense of safety, and development,” says @BehuraSampurna, Executive Director of #IndiaChildProtection, in @TheDailyPioneer.

As AI becomes more embedded in children’s lives, this article is a timely reminder that #innovation without safeguards can create new harms. Child protection must be built into technology not added later.

Read the full article below to understand why #ethical, child-centric AI is non-negotiable.

India stands at a defining moment where artificial intelligence can transform child protection by moving systems beyond response towards prevention by design.

@JustRightsIndia and @IndiaCPOrg , in affiliation with the @GoI_MeitY , are hosting PROSPERITY FUTURES: Child Safety Tech Summit — the Official Pre-Summit Event of the AI Impact Summit 2026 IndiaAI @OfficialINDIAai.

📍 Constitution Club of India, New Delhi
📅 Tuesday, 13 January 2026
The Summit will be inaugurated by Shri @JitinPrasada , Minister of State, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, underscoring India’s leadership in advancing the responsible and accountable use of artificial intelligence for public good.

Convened as India accelerates the use of AI for inclusive #growth, #governance, and social good, the Summit brings together senior government leaders, law enforcement, technologists, policymakers, researchers, and civil society to examine how artificial intelligence can be operationalised within child protection systems.

The focus is on AI-enabled systems that strengthen justice delivery, enable early intervention, and prevent harm by responding effectively to vulnerabilities faced by children and combating crimes such as child marriage, child trafficking, child sexual abuse, and online child sexual exploitation and abuse material (#CSEAM) while being responsibly integrated into national child protection frameworks.

This Children’s Day, we reaffirm our mission to defend every child’s right to #safety, #dignity, and #freedom without fear or hesitation.

From Oct 7 – 9, 2025, @IndiaCPOrg (ICP), in collaboration with #MaharashtraCyber, conducted a specialised two-day training programme for 40 police officials from #Washim district.

The session covered the tipline mechanism and how culprits exploit peer-to-peer networks, the #darkweb, #Telegram, and cloud storage for #CSEAM distribution, other cybercrimes investigations, cybercrime modus operandi, and #digitalforensic.

This initiative aimed to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement to #detect, #investigate, and #disrupt online child exploitation networks.

We remain committed to advancing systemic collaboration with law enforcement to ensure a #safer digital environment for every child.

“In an age where digital connectivity brings both empowerment and exposure, protecting children online is no longer optional, it is imperative.” — writes @BehuraSampurna , Executive Director of #IndiaChildProtection, in @Oneindia News.

She spotlights #Telangana’s model, where a newly formed Child Protection Unit (#CPU) arrested repeat offenders and filed hundreds of FIRs as a #nationalblueprint. Platforms must not hide behind #loopholes; binding tech regulation is essential to end online child #sexualexploitation.

"Profit over protection? Children’s safety online is being sacrificed for engagement metrics," writes @BehuraSampurna , Executive Director, #IndiaChildProtection , in The Eastern Chronicle.

She urges binding tech regulation to combat CSEAM, revealing how platforms exploit legal loopholes and fail to protect children.

@Bhuwan_Ribhu, Founder of #JustRightsforChildren, at the State-Level Conference on #ChildMarriage &
#ChildSexualExploitation in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, said, “One child denied #justice is a threat to justice everywhere in the world."
In his powerful address, #BhuwanRibhu emphasized that the denial of justice to even a single child undermines the very foundations of justice worldwide.

As the conference on #ChildMarriage & #ChildSexualExploitation concludes, one truth stands out—child marriage and #CSEAM are grave violations of children's rights that demand urgent action. While #childmarriage continues to trap children in cycles of abuse and the violation of their fundamental rights, #CSEAM is an organized, borderless crime thriving in the digital age. Tackling these issues requires a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach, stronger enforcement, comprehensive victim support—from counseling to rehabilitation, community sensitization, speedy trials and #justice, and systemic interventions at all levels. Organized by #JustRightsforChildren partners—@IndiaCPOrg (#ICP) & Association for Voluntary Action (#AVA)—in collaboration with #ANSLSA, this conference reinforced our collective responsibility to act. The fight doesn’t end here—it begins with all of us.

The society that celebrates child marriages often doesn’t realise what it is truly celebrating—the impending rape of a daughter, the impending rape of a child.

Tune in to @ndtv 24x7 at 5:30pm today as I’m joined by former Chief Justice of India Justice D.Y. Chandrachud and actor Neena Gupta to reflect on 2024—a year of historic milestones—and what lies ahead for a #ChildMarriageFreeIndia. @JustRightsIndia

@ACTIVISTLAWYER, National Convenor of #JustRightsforChildren, raised some extremely pertinent questions at the conference on ‘#ChildMarriage & #ChildSexualExploitation’. He pointed out that with over 2 lakh cases pending in #POCSO courts across the country, the situation remains grim, and children continue to suffer in silence for countless years.
“The law remains a piece of paper unless it is acted upon—this fact is especially important when we speak about serious cases such as child sexual abuse,” he said while speaking at the state-level conference organised by Just Rights for Children partners -- @IndiaCPOrg (#ICP) & Association for Voluntary Action (#AVA) -- along with the State Legal Services Authority, Andaman & Nicobar Islands (#ANSLSA).

In an immensely insightful address at the conference in #PortBlair today, Advocate @RachnaTyagi24, Legal Counsel at #JustRightsforChildren, explained the landmark Supreme Court ruling on Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (#CSEAM) that merely viewing, possessing, or storing material depicting minors engaged in sexual activity constitutes an offence under the #POCSO Act. She also elaborated on why the apex court replaced the term ‘child pornography’ with #CSEAM, clarifying that the former implies a degree of consent, whereas the latter more accurately encompasses all forms of child sexual abuse material, including AI-generated content.

[Just Rights @JustRightsIndia]

"Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Material (#CSEAM) remains on the Internet indefinitely, transcending borders and causing lifelong trauma and harm to the victims. To effectively combat the crimes of child sexual abuse and child marriage, we must adopt a whole-of-society and whole-of-government approach. Collaboration between policymakers, law enforcement, technology platforms, and #civilsociety is essential to prevent, detect, and eliminate these heinous crimes against children," said Jyoti Mathur, Policy Advisor, #JustRightsforChildren, at the state-level conference on ‘#ChildMarriage & #ChildSexualExploitation’ in #PortBlair today.

[India Child Protection @IndiaCPOrg]

Highlighting the urgency with which the world must address the crime of online child sexual abuse, Ms. @BehuraSampurna, Executive Director of #IndiaChildProtection, emphasized that with 87% of children having access to smart devices, the threat of #CSEAM is greater than ever before.
“Today, there is a silent war being waged against our children globally. Online child sexual abuse is not just a crime—it is an attack on their safety, and future. It hinders their development and threatens to cripple future generations. We must act urgently and cohesively, as this is not a traditional crime but an evolving digital crime that requires immediate and coordinated action.”
