Online sexual exploitation and abuse of children (OCSEA) has been a major violation of the rights of children for many years. The COVID-19 pandemic, and increasing screen time by each and every one, has exacerbated the prevalence and risks of OCSEA, including in the Pacific region. While comprehensive approaches are needed to prevent OCSEA, and identify, protect and assist victims, effective criminal justice is an important part of the response to protect children against OCSEA and bring offenders to justice. The aim of this workshop is to share information on the threat of OCSEA as well as good practices in terms of policies, legislation, institutional capacities and domestic and international cooperation on OCSEA.
