CHR seeks swift prosecution of child sellers
The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) is urging the government to intensify its crackdown on online child selling, citing the alarming rise in such incidents.
The CHR vehemently condemns the practice, emphasizing that the sale of children is a violation of Philippine law and constitutes child trafficking under RA 7610 and RA 9208.
The commission calls for strengthened monitoring and regulation of online platforms, enhanced surveillance and investigative capabilities, and swift prosecution of perpetrators.
The CHR also reminded prospective adoptive parents to follow legal adoption procedures under RA 11642 to protect children's rights and welfare.
Upholding its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the CHR stressed that preventing the sale and trafficking of children is a grave human rights violation requiring utmost urgency.
