ISLAMABAD: Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR) has launched an awareness campaign to prevent child abuse through social media. A MoHR official said that social media is an excellent tool to combat child abuse.
“We believe that social media is effective in raising public awareness of social issues, including child abuse,” he added.
He added that at least half of the adult population uses social media.
In other words, by publishing messages about child abuse prevention, there is a much higher chance that they will reach the adults who need those messages. He further added that the media can play a vital role between people, adding that “our voices are stronger when we speak as one”.
