Resume

The overall goal of the intervention is to “reduce online sexual exploitation of children in Davao Region”. To this end the intervention applies a three-dimensional strategic framework. First, the intervention will contribute to promote secure (online) environments for children through strengthening public sector-civil society collaboration and conducting advocacy towards duty-bearers at regional and city level. Second, the intervention will contribute to increase awareness of OSEC amongst youth through mobilization and capacity building of local youth organizations. Third, the intervention will contribute to improve access to justice for victims of online abuse through strengthening local referral mechanisms and capacity building of local justice operators. The intervention will leave behind capacitated community structures, youth organizations and duty-bearers able to prevent and respond to online sexual exploitation of children in Davao Region.
