SINGAPORE - A new three-day forum, organised by Singapore and the United States to fight child sexual abuse and exploitation in South-east Asia, is being held here.
It will cover topics like effective online investigations and victim-centred interviewing techniques. A spokesman from the US embassy told The Straits Times the forum aims to share strategies, investigative techniques and best practices to investigate sexual exploitation and child abuse cases. She noted a 2020 Unicef Report which showed that one in five girls and one in 13 boys are sexually exploited or abused globally before reaching the age of 18.
In August 2022, the Philippines declared an all-out “war” against the sexual exploitation of children online, vowing to jail perpetrators amid a threefold surge in online sexual abuse cases involving children. “These legislations in Singapore allow us to prosecute Singapore citizens and permanent residents who commit such acts abroad.”
