DSWD rolls out Project SAFE vs online sexual abuse of children
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has launched Project SAFE to combat online sexual abuse and exploitation of children (OSAEC) at the local level.
Project SAFE aims to enhance mechanisms for prevention, protection, recovery, and safe reintegration of OSAEC victims, while also working to prevent re-victimization.
The DSWD plans to pilot Project SAFE in Iligan City, Angeles City in Pampanga, and Cebu City by the end of December.
Under the project, the DSWD will implement Trauma Informed Care and provide technical assistance and capacity-building activities to local government units.
The initiative will offer a holistic model of intervention to help victim-survivors, their families, and contribute to the prevention of OSAEC and the creation of child sexual abuse or exploitation materials (CSAEM).
The project will also promote digital safety awareness among children and caregivers and enhance the reporting and management of OSAEC cases.
