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 Mongolia, there is only one CSEC-specific rehabilitation programme, which is run by the Mongolian Adolescent's Development Centre, in a district of Ulaanbaatar. However, only in severe cases of violence, children are actually referred to it. Strengthening capacity of staff is identified as a priority to ensure that proper rehabilitation care is provided to meet the needs of the children. As such, Mongolia presents a serious lack of shelters, support and rehabilitation services for children escaping CSEC. |
