The Missing Awareness and Safety School Program (MASSp)
We started the Urban School Awareness Programme in December 2018. We believe it is important to reach out to children in urban areas as well since the trafficking itself is now moving from rural to urban. Children in cities are increasingly being targeted by sex traffickers, who find it easy to approach them online. The rapid adoption of digital technology is affecting societies at multiple levels and adding to the complexity of peer relationships, parenting and child protection.
Now known as the the Missing Awareness and Safety School Program (MASSp), it provides systematic awareness on prevention of sex abuse and exploitation to adolescents, through a unique pedagogy that combines the immersive impact of art and technology.
All modules have both theoretical and practical components. In addition to this, the MASSp is embedded with innovative tools, such as the MISSING Mural with chatbots, an interactive digital comic, the MISSING game and the MISSING stencil.
It aligns with the National Education Policy, 2020 and will be disseminated in English, Hindi and regional languages as per requirements. It can be implemented under SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work Education and Action) in CBSE schools and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) program in International Baccalaureate (IB) schools.
