Online Sexual Exploitation of Children

The International Justice Mission (IJM), a global organization that protects the poor from violence has recently transitioned from combatting traditional forms of child sexual trafficking towards the growing crime of human trafficking for the purpose of Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC).

IJM has supported our law enforcement partners to rescue over 270 victims of OSEC in the Philippines, including the rescue of five (5) victims in Calape, Bohol last July 2017 and the arrest of one suspect, Vivian Alfuerto HuraƱo.

IJM believes that media plays a key role in the fight against this growing violent crime. We have organized a number of media workshops to improve and intensify coverage of OSEC.

In view of this, you are invited to attend a workshop for journalists and public information officers on February 28, 2018, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at JJ's Seafoods Village, this city. Print and broadcast journalists covering the police and court beats within Bohol will be prioritized.

For confirmation, details and other concerns, please contact IJM Community Mobilization Manager, Catherine Muga-Noveda (cmuganoveda@ijm.org; 0917-150-6297), or our Partnership Development Officer, Rebelander Basilan (rbasilan@ijm.org; 0917-164-7632), or at PIA-Bohol and EDCOM.

Thank you so much and we hope that you can join us and work together for the best interest of Bohol.
