    <description>The Missing Link Trust is one of India’s leading organizations working to prevent sex trafficking through awareness, education and empowerment. It is the brainchild of Leena Kejriwal, founder of “Missing”, a public art project started in 2014 with the single purpose of creating mass awareness on sex trafficking and slavery through education and art. Now, with the MISSING podcast series, Leena explores issues around child sex trafficking in India, child marriage, porn &amp; adolescent sexuality, cyber safety and more. Through the experience and insight from experts in the space and looking at real life cases that have found their way in the public eye, we see how each one of us can play an active role to prevent this issue, that is much closer to home than we realise. </description>

      <title>Children in Conflict with Law</title>
      <link>https://omny.fm/shows/missing/children-in-conflict-with-law</link>
      <description>On the MISSING podcast this week, we’re taking a look at the subject of sexual delinquency and children in conflict with law. Sharing their insights on this episode are Puneeta Roy, Founder Trustee of The Yuva Ekta Foundation, who has been working with young people in conflict with law for over a decade, and cyber psychologist and psychotherapist Nirali Bhatia, who is well known for analysing online behaviour, counselling cybercrime victims and creating awareness on cyber bullying. They tell us more about what goes on in the minds of these young offenders, what is triggering this kind of violent sexual behaviour in adolescents, whether juvenile detention centres and remand homes offer effective rehabilitation solutions, and discuss an important question – are we too quick to cast judgement and blame these children for offences that clearly have its roots embedded deep in our society?
 Trigger Warning: Please note, this episode contains themes and depictions of sexual violence and human trafficking that may be disturbing to listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

      <title>Porn and Adolescent Sexuality</title>
      <link>https://omny.fm/shows/missing/porn-and-adolescent-sexuality</link>
      <description>On today’s episode of the MISSING podcast, we’re exploring the effects of pornography on adolescent sexuality, along with clinical psychologist, psychoanalyst, and author Dr. Danielle Knafo, who is a professor at Long Island University’s clinical psychology doctoral program, and an associate clinical professor at New York University's postdoctoral program in psychoanalysis. Also joining us on the show is human rights activist, researcher, and founder of the NGO HAQ: Centre for Child Rights, Enakshi Ganguly. The experts touch upon the effects of sex being a taboo subject in the Indian culture and especially in adolescent conversations, the negative and longlasting impact of young people’s exposure to pornography, the link between pornography and sexual offences amongst adolescents, and whether laws and punitive measures are actionable substitutes for larger societal changes. 
 Trigger Warning: Please note, this episode contains themes and depictions of sexual violence and human trafficking that may be disturbing to listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

      <title>Child Marriage</title>
      <link>https://omny.fm/shows/missing/child-marriage</link>
      <description>This week, on MISSING, we delve into the problem of child marriage in India. We are joined by development professional and child rights activist Bharti Ali, the co-founder and currently Executive Director of HAQ: Centre for Child Rights, who has been working on issues concerning gender and child rights for over 29 years, and Baitali Ganguly, a founder member of Jabala Action Research Organisation, an NGO based in Kolkata that rescues and rehabilitates survivors of trafficking. They give us an extensive overview and an on-ground look at child marriage, how these weddings actually take place despite being illegal, and how it can enable insidious crimes like trafficking and sexual exploitation. They also discuss the push to raise the legal age of marriage from 18 to 21 and solutions to this deeply entrenched issue.
