Sharing the Reality of OSEC in the Philippines

Our field partner, Honor 1000 partnered up with SPECS foundation to be able to reach 150 out of school children and their parents with our Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) awareness campaign training.

The parents said they didn’t know how to guide their children in using the internet so the online safety tips were very helpful.

We shared online safety tips and talked about the horrible reality of OSEC in the Philippines. During the sessions, a number of children shared: 1.) strangers asking for their pictures online 2.) strangers  asking to meet up in person and 3.) being bullied online. All of them were given steps on what to do during and after the session.
