The Commission on Human Rights has assured its continuous monitoring and assessment of the findings by United Nations Special Rapporteur Mama Fatima Singhateh on child trafficking, forced marriage and labor, and sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines.
The CHR said that while the UNSR lauded the Philippines’ notable progress in combating trafficking, Singhateh said it is crucial to distinguish child trafficking and sale of children for sexual exploitation. During Singhateh’s visit, the CHR said it provided initial inputs to issues posted by the UNSR prior to her arrival in the country.
It said that during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, CHR has similarly noted a significant increase in online sexual abuse and exploitation of children. In response, it said, it issued the “Advisory on the Protection of Children from Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on 3 June 2020 .”
