Information and communication technologies and the sale and sexual exploitation of children 2015, para. 63
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Various organizations have begun to develop empowerment programmes for children. A good example is the New Jersey Child Assault Prevention organization, which developed their initial programmes to empower children to be protected against (offline) child sexual exploitation into an empowerment programme for online abuse. The programme is a series of tailored training activity workshops that seek to help children understand how to keep safe online, including by providing case studies and role play. Safe Internet usage is at the heart of many programmes of non-governmental organizations, most notably ECPAT International and RedNATIC. There is recognition that there must be a multi-faceted approach. Key professionals such as the police, social workers, teachers and health-care workers must be aware of the types of exploitation that occur and how to detect them and assist child victims. Parents also need to be supported and encouraged to discuss such issues with their children. More importantly, resources specifically for children allow them to understand the behaviour, and identify and report when perpetrators are trying to abuse or exploit them.
