Earlier this week (November 20th) marked UN event Universal Children’s Day, which aims to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improvements to children’s welfare. To tie in with the occasion, data visualization agency FFunction created an interactive digital story tool that highlights issues around children’s rights in India.
(Un)Trafficked is a sort of online choose-your-own-adventure game following a 13-year-old girl over one week, where you’re led through a series of scenarios that are unfortunately all too real for too many children in India.
According to FFunction, in 2015, there were 3,490 child trafficking cases reported in India. Of these, 90% were girls. The agency explains: “We were invited by two nonprofit partners, the Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, to make a digital centerpiece of a large-scale campaign to end child exploitation in India.”
The interactive is available in both English and Hindi, and on desktop and mobile.
