Protecting Children in the Digital Age: A Collective Responsibility
The 2025 National Children's Month theme, “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!”, highlights the urgent need to safeguard children from online sexual abuse and exploitation. The government's efforts to protect children's safety, dignity, and rights are commendable, with laws like the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 and the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013.
It really is kind of alarming to hear that we MUST take good care of the media we're giving to kids nowadays. It does need immediate ACTION!
However, more needs to be done. The government should:
- Strengthen law enforcement and prosecution of OSAEC and CSAEM cases
- Provide comprehensive support services for victims
- Enhance digital literacy and awareness among children, parents, and educators
- Foster partnerships with NGOs and private sector to combat online exploitation
