This Child Trafficking Legal Guide has been produced by Baker McKenzie, World Vision, State Street and 3M to support the End Violence Against Children Program.
This first legal guide addresses frequently asked questions encountered by World Vision relating to protecting child victims of human trafficking in Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The objective is to empower and educate users as how to best navigate regulatory hurdles that may arise when assisting children affected by human trafficking.
President Aquino of the Philippines has recently signed into law the “Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection Act,” an Act which ensures the protection of children “in times of calamity, disaster, and other emergency situations.” The law lays out a strategic plan of action for government to respond to the needs of children during emergencies. The Act includes provisions on establishing shelters for displaced children, promoting children’s rights, and addressing the needs of unaccompanied or separated children, including immediate care, tracing of relatives, and family reunification.
