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. In South Africa, the priority areas identified in the National Policy Framework and Strategic Plan for the Prevention and Management of Child Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation must now be translated into action through adequate allocation of resources and support from relevant government departments, especially the Department of Social Development. It is hoped that the activities planned, especially those related to commercial sexual exploitation of children, do not fail to materialise, as happened in the case of the 1997 NPA against CSEC. |
