Description:

The Agenda for action against commercial sexual exploitation of children provides a detailed framework and categories of actions to be taken by governments in partnership and other relevant actors for combating commercial sexual crimes against children. Broadly, these actions are focused on : coordination and cooperation, prevention, recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration, child participation. The Agenda for action is thus the formal and guiding structure used by governments that have adopted it and committed to work against CSEC. The United States has no National Plan of Action against CSEC, nor other comprehensive plans that address CSEC issues. The United States should ratify the Convention on the Rights of the Child as one of the main instruments for creating a protective environment for all children. In addition, it must withdraw its reservations to the Optional Protocol. A National Plan of Action against the CSEC is urgently required to guide and support states to combat these crimes against children in a consistent and effective way |
