The Norwegian government has committed to helping train Philippine law enforcers to more effectively identify potential child sex abuse victims by teaching them to access available sources of information on perpetrators overseas.
MANILA, Philippines — The Norwegian government has committed to helping train Philippine law enforcers to more effectively identify potential child sex abuse victims by teaching them to access available sources of information on perpetrators overseas.
Last March, Andreas Motzfeldt Kravik, the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs state secretary, met with Department of Social Welfare and Development representatives, district social workers and youth advocates to discuss how OSAEC has impacted their communities. Law enforcers will be educated on how to access "evidence for prosecution of perpetrators in the Nordic countries."
“Although we have policies within the community, such as those that regulate money remittance centers, we wish to have them in the whole city. And we need additional support to lobby to strengthen programs and services for combatting OSAEC in Manila," said Honeyleen Montano-Mabaet, a social welfare officer from the City of Manila.
A high-profile rescue operation conducted by the PNP in 2023 involved the rescue of sixteen abused minors with the help of the Australian Federal Police.
