THE SaferKidsPH consortium of UNICEF, The Asia Foundation, and Save the Children Philippines, in partnership with the Australian Embassy, commends the Senate's approval on third and final reading of Senate Bill No. 2209 or the strengthening protections against online sexual abuse and exploitation of children bill.
The Consortium extends its congratulations to the Senate for bringing the bill one step closer to legislation. The fight against online abuse and sexual exploitation of children is the primary objective of SaferKidsPH, which aims to create a safer online environment for children by encouraging positive behavior towards the protection of children from online abuse and exploitation; strengthening investigation, prosecution and adjudication of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC) cases; and improving services to prevent and protect children where online exploitation is rampant.
