KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 — Providing children with comprehensive sex education will empower them with the ability to recognise online child sexual exploitation and abuse , said End Child Prostitution in Asian Tourism Legal Research Coordinator Andrea Varrella today.

On the other hand, there was the issue of moral judgment clouding any sex education received, as she added: “Among the children who said they did receive a sex education programme, the vast majority actually said that this sex education was only through the lens of morality.” “To see that later when they realise that this is so and they have been sexually assaulted and abused, it just tears them apart. You can see the pain in their eyes,” she shared.

“It should be a concerted effort not only by parents, school, and the ministry but everybody needs to come together on the same page,” he said, adding that there are a lot of people who do not aggressively want to push or advocate for the agenda. She noted that sex education is ideally imparted through schools, but that it would fail to educate children who may be at particular risks such as those who are migrants, school dropouts and children who are homeless.
