21st Century Child Abuse: Protecting Children in a Digital Age. A Conversation with Denise Abdoo, PhD, CPNP, MSN, Antonia Chiesa, MD and Warren Binford, JD, EdM
Description
The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and its Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography (OPSC) are the foundational international legal instruments designed to protect children. However, as these treaties were adopted before the widespread digital era, their provisions require a modern interpretation to effectively combat the increasing links between sexual offenses against children and the online environment. Our podcast will delve into our recent report to the CRC, which aims to foster a deeper understanding of these challenges, enable more effective implementation of the OPSC by States, and ensure the Protocol remains a robust instrument for child protection, regardless of how offenses are facilitated.
