In this Telugu podcast episode, social activist Sunitha Krishnan shares the journey behind one of India’s most urgent yet least understood human rights challenges, preventing child sexual abuse, human trafficking, and cyber-enabled exploitation.

From her role in pushing for the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal to exposing how child sexual abuse material (CSAM) circulates across social media, messaging platforms, and hidden digital networks, this conversation sheds light on what often remains unseen.

Sunitha Krishnan explains why the term is not “child pornography” but CSAM, how demand fuels trafficking, and how technology has quietly enabled exploitation through coded language, online marketplaces, and encrypted platforms. Drawing from real cases in India and abroad, she discusses the psychological impact on survivors, the toll on investigators, and the systems that allow abuse to continue when society looks away.

The episode also examines secondary victimisation, gaps in legal processes, victim-blaming narratives, and the urgent need for greater accountability from technology companies. She speaks about her work with Prajwala Foundation, the resilience of survivors, children born into red-light areas, and why rehabilitation, education, and dignity matter far more than sympathy.

From Supreme Court advocacy to survivor rehabilitation, and from hard questions around gender, demand, and responsibility to pathways for real reform, this is an intense, honest, and necessary conversation.

This episode is a powerful reminder of why child safety, women’s rights, cyber crime prevention, and social justice demand our attention. It will challenge how you think, without shouting, without simplifying, and without turning away.
