The workshop will link to the above WSIS action lines because the focus of the WePROTECT Global Alliance and its multistakeholder way of working is to build capacity through country-led action plans, aligned with the model national response. The MNR includes ways in which industry and those actors working specifically in information society sectors can contribute to the elimination of online child sexual exploitation.

SDG 16.2: End abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence and torture against children.

SDG 5.2: eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation.

SDG 8.7 take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour…and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms.

SDG 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalise the global partnership for sustainable development

The workshop’s primary focus will be on the MNR. The MNR works on all of the above SDG’s because it is a national action plan countries can adopt to ensure they develop a robust response to online child sexual exploitation, in a multistakeholder, cohesive way.
