According to Interpol an organization that tracks down criminals across borders, interventions against this crime are still little, there is a great need for awareness to reduce its cases in this country and the world. This study aims to partake in the intervention against OSEC through raising awareness by the means of youth’s observation and perspective in their community which is a rising hotspot for this crime.
The method used in the study was photovoice which also aims to empower the youth even more. The photos and narratives collected were compiled in a photobook that reached more than thirty-one people. The feedback from the respondents shows that photobook achieved the need of awareness especially to those respondents who do not have any prior idea about OSEC.
