MISSING

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 & 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.
