Fruitful discussion with Fereeha Idrees on media role.@Fereeha

Media can play a crucial role in child protection in society. Some ways in which media can contribute to child protection include:

1. Raising awareness: Media can raise awareness about child protection issues through news reports, documentaries, feature articles, and social media campaigns. By highlighting cases of child abuse, exploitation, neglect, and other forms of harm, media can help to educate the public and bring attention to the need for stronger child protection measures.

2. Advocacy: Media can advocate for the rights and well-being of children by promoting policy changes, calling for stronger laws and regulations, and urging authorities to take action in cases of child abuse or neglect. Through editorials, opinion pieces, and investigative journalism, media can emphasize the importance of child protection and hold those responsible accountable.

3. Education and information: Media can provide information and resources to parents, caregivers, and children themselves on topics such as child safety, healthy child development, positive parenting techniques, and available support services. By disseminating accurate and helpful information, media can empower individuals and communities to better protect children.

4. Promoting positive portrayals of children: Media can contribute to child protection by portraying children in a respectful and positive manner. By avoiding harmful stereotypes, exploitation, and the sexualization of children, media can help promote a culture of respect, empathy, and care for children.

5. Collaboration and partnerships: Media organizations can collaborate with child protection agencies, non-governmental organizations, and government bodies to share information, resources, and expertise. By working together, media and child protection organizations can amplify their impact and reach larger audiences.

It is important for media to handle these issues responsibly and ethically, respecting the privacy and dignity of children involved in sensitive cases. This includes obtaining proper consent, protecting the identities of child victims, and avoiding sensationalism or unnecessary harm in reporting. Out of the many interesting questions highlighted at the seminar, the consistent complaint was the lack of empathy on national TV about this issue.
It is indeed our collective responsibility to look after our children.

With millions of children on streets in Pakistan, the challenge for state is huge. Malnutrition, poverty, deprivation of basic necessities, child abuse, sexual abuse, violence, psychological and verbal abuse etc are huge challenges faced by our children. @IslamicReliefPK organised a seminar for child protection where I had a chance to learn and highlight the issue.

Domestic child labour is a stain on our social fabric. Robbing children of their future is a clear violation of child rights.
Let's ensure that each child, every minute of every day, is protected, respected and taken care of.

Shocking but true! 22.8 million children in Pakistan are missing out on education. 📚
It's time to change this statistic and ensure every child's right to learn is realized.
