Online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) is when perpetrators pay traffickers to produce images or videos of the sexual abuse of minors. It is a rapidly growing crime in the Philippines due to widespread poverty, availability of internet access, and broad English language proficiency. Girls and boys are forced to perform sex acts, often by a parent or relative, or are exploited in other violent ways. International Justice Mission and our partners work with Philippine authorities to hold criminals accountable for exploiting children and to prevent abuse. This helps create communities where all children can be safe and protected.
