5 Strong Thesis Ideas on Online Child Trafficking and Exploitation

Source: GMA News Online

Let me convince you to make this a thesis.

She was pregnant. And she was pimping her three-year-old online. Alongside her 14-year-old. Nude photos. Videos. Sold for as little as P2,000 to foreigners who paid well. This happened in Mabalacat, Pampanga. She was their mother. Her own parents stepped back and said, “Let the authorities handle it.” The police are still searching for more victims.

What’s really wrong is this. The abuse is not rare. It’s everywhere. But hidden. Online sexual exploitation of children is a silent epidemic in the Philippines. We are now the global hotspot. Families, schools, even neighbors don’t know how to spot it. Or worse. They know. But they stay quiet. There is almost no protection system that works fast enough. No recovery for the children who survive it. And no research bold enough to dig into the roots.

• You don’t know the difference between a “topic” and a “research gap”

• You’re guessing your way through something that decides your graduation

And let’s be real — you’ve already:
❌ Tried making titles from scratch
❌ Watched “How to Write a Thesis Title” TikToks
❌ Copy-pasted topics from other people's thesis (ooops?)

Still stuck? Exactly.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need a system.
