Imphal, July 21:

Shaikhom Chingkheinganba, President, Manipur Students’ Association Delhi (MSAD) in a press statement warned against the illicit activities of various social media platforms which in the name of online prizes, modeling contracts and stage performances, are actively engaged in recruitment of young girls from Western South East Asia(WESEA) region for prostitution, forced labour, sexual slavery and others. The platforms organize online audition, Selfie contest etc through their websites and collect private photos and details of young girls from WESEA. Even few naïve people from the region are also involved in the recruitment process, he added.

MSAD drew the attention of one ‘Stormy TV’ promotion post for modeling and reality show which has gone viral on various social media sites and claimed such platforms often hide behind fake names of modeling, Artificial Intelligence, Start ups, Sports etc to cover their true identity. He further condemned that the mainland Indians target WESEA girls for prostitution business and question why such behaviors should not be seen as a form of racial discrimination. The student body urged parents, society to be cautious of such activities and expressed the immediate need for awareness programme in this matter.
