As the lead agency
in social protection and promotion of the rights and welfare of the disadvantaged
and vulnerable sector, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
recently hosted the ASEAN Conference on Working Toward a Cyber Pornography and
Cyber Prostitution Free Southeast Asia.
The three-day conference aimed at enhancing the competency
of ASEAN-member states in addressing the gaps to ensure responsive and
comprehensive programs and interventions for victims of cyber pornography and
cyber prostitution.
The Philippines saw the need to raise the issue of cyber
pornography and cyber prostitution at the Regional (ASEAN) Level for a holistic
approach in addressing the problem.
The DSWD noted that cyber pornography and cyber
prostitution have become troublesome and ever-growing crimes. Modern
technological advancement through information and sharing not only simplifies
everyday life but also invites villains to take advantage of the technology to
expose people, especially children and women to violence and exploitation.
DSWD Undersecretary Parisya H. Taradji who delivered the
opening statement, underscored the important role of ASEAN member states to
fight the increasing number of cases of cyber pornography and cyber
prostitution in the Region. “We all have crucial roles to play to save the
lives of vulnerable children and women, who are often the victims of such kind
of exploitation,” Undersecretary Taradji said.
