AS CE // Sexual Exploitation of Children Online (SECO) and Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism (SECTT)

This three year programme (January 2016 to December 2018) focuses on emerging issues in Asia; Sexual Exploitation of Children Online (SECO) and Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism (SECTT). There is a clear link between the use of ICT and sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism. The Internet has increasingly facilitated the sexual exploitation of children in tourism in Asia. Travelling child sex offenders are now able to anonymously gain access to networks that provide information on local children and the services available at destinations. The internet is also being used to groom children online before traveling sex offenders reach their destination.
