Web of Deceit: Interactive Digital Comic - A Missing and Trafficking Case File
State
States
West Bengal
Web of Deceit is a joint venture between Missing Link Trust and International Justice Mission. It aims to demonstrate how crimes, in specific against women and children may be reported; and depicts how prosecution of a trafficker/exploiter takes place. It has been created as a tool to make the community aware of the dynamic nature of sex trafficking.
The aim is that this comic will also act as a trust-building mechanism for citizens who are sceptical of reporting cases – a fundamental step towards increasing the reportage of crimes. The comic, furthermore, has the potential to highlight the different perspectives of the various stakeholders in the issue of sex-trafficking.

Impact
Empowering Vulnerable Adolescents: The program equips vulnerable adolescents, both boys and girls, with knowledge and skills to protect themselves and others from child abuse, exploitation, and trafficking. By providing them with essential life skills, it enhances their ability to make informed decisions and lead safer lives. Focusing on Girls' Empowerment: The program places special emphasis on girls because they are often at a higher risk of abuse and exploitation. By educating and empowering girls, it aims to delay early marriages, reduce teenage pregnancies, and mitigate other vulnerabilities they may face, ultimately fostering their overall development and well-being. Engaging School-Going Children: The primary beneficiaries of the program are school-going children, typically in grades VIII to XII, who attend government schools in West Bengal. By integrating these interventions into the education system, the program ensures that vulnerable adolescents have access to essential knowledge and support while pursuing their education. Supporting Marginalized Communities: The program's key focus is on vulnerable adolescents from marginalized communities who face heightened risks due to socio-economic factors. By targeting these communities, the program aims to reduce disparities and provide support where it is most needed. Community-Wide Impact: While the immediate beneficiaries are the vulnerable adolescents, the program's impact extends to the broader community. It raises awareness about critical issues such as child marriage, unsafe sexual behavior, and mental health. By addressing these issues, the program contributes to the betterment of society as a whole, promoting safer, healthier, and more informed communities.
