Situation in India on Child Abuse in Tourism - UNWTO Task Force on the Protection of Children
March 13, 2009
EQUATIONS was invited to present at the United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s 24th Task Force Meeting on the Protection of Children, at the ITB Berlin on 15th March 2009. It was the first time since the task force was formed that a presentation was made on the situation in India, and therefore the moment was historic in some ways. The presentation drove home the point that exploitation of children was mostly unacknowledged by the industry and policy makers. That combined with extremely weak protection mechanisms resulted in high degrees of vulnerability for children who fell easy prey to perverted tourists – both domestic and international.
