Yesterday, in Taipei, the Be Safe for Child and Youth event was held to honour individuals who have made significant contributions in the prevention of child and adolescent sexual exploitation. The event, which took place on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act's passage, was attended by Deputy Minister of Health and Welfare Lu Chien-te and the High Prosecutors' Office Hualien Branch Prosecutor Huang Yi-chun.
The attendees at the event held pots of daisies, symbolising a brighter future for children and adolescents, free from the threat of exploitation. The event was organised to raise awareness and to recognise the efforts of those who have worked tirelessly to protect the most vulnerable members of society.
The Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act, passed 30 years ago, has been instrumental in the fight against child sexual exploitation in Taiwan. The Act has provided a legal framework to prosecute offenders and to protect children from harm. The Be Safe for Child and Youth event was a celebration of this Act and a testament to the ongoing commitment to safeguarding the wellbeing of children and adolescents in Taiwan.
The Be Safe for Child and Youth event was covered by CNA, highlighting the importance of the event and the ongoing efforts to combat child sexual exploitation in Taiwan. As the fight against child sexual exploitation continues, events such as the Be Safe for Child and Youth event serve as a reminder of the progress made and the work that still needs to be done.
- The fight against child sexual exploitation in Taiwan also extends to the realm of science and health-and-wellness, with a particular focus on mental health, as prevalent cases often leave long-lasting psychological effects on the victims.
- To further promote the health and well-being of children and adolescents in Taiwan, it is crucial to integrate mental health programs into schools and communities, providing additional resources to support those impacted by child sexual exploitation.
