Child sexual abuse and online sexual exploitation are prevalent in all areas of the world that have been studied. At some point social service workers are likely to encounter victims of abuse and exploitation and work with their caregivers and families. In doing so, it is critical to be aware of factors that render children and adolescents vulnerable to sexual abuse and online exploitation, recognize possible indicators of victimization, and adopt a trauma-informed, rights-based approach to working with children and families who have experienced abuse or exploitation.

During this webinar, held June 13, 2019, presenters shared how to adopt a trauma-informed, rights-based approach to working with children and families who have experienced abuse or exploitation.

Speakers:

• Bindu Sharma, Asia-Pacific Policy Director, International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC).
• Dr. Jordan Greenbaum,  Medical Director, Global Health and Well-being Initiative,  International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children
