Since 2018, Child Helpline International and the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) have partnered to support five target countries in implementing a collaborative approach to combat online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA). This includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
- Five child helpline trainings
- eLearning modules and handbooks for child helpline counsellors
- Five law enforcement trainings
- Five medical trainings
- Eight educators’ trainings
We are delighted to announce the launch of our Technical Guidance Resource on OCSEA!
Objective: It is our aim that such a resource will encourage continued cross-cutting stakeholder collaboration and interaction at the national level, particularly among child helplines, healthcare, education, law enforcement, and civil society organizations.
Methodology: A survey was created with specific questions for each of our targeted stakeholder groups who previously took part in our five national roundtable discussions, which took place throughout 2019.
Impact: Ultimately, this resource aims to ensure legal and judicial systems are strengthened in relation to online violence, more specifically, OCSEA. We hope to identify possible further partnerships and opportunities between stakeholders and countries through this survey.
