The 2025 National Children’s Month theme, “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!”, reminds us that children must be protected both offline and online. Today, many children face dangers on the internet, including abuse and exploitation. This celebration is important because it calls everyone families, schools, communities, and the government, to work together to keep children safe and respected. Protecting children is not only a duty, but also a promise to give them a better future.
The government plays a big role in protecting the safety and dignity of children. Laws are in place to punish those who abuse children and to stop the spread of harmful online materials. Agencies work with the police, schools, and even other countries to catch offenders and rescue victims. Hotlines and reporting systems also help people report abuse quickly. These actions show that the government is taking steps to fight OSAEC and CSAEM.
However, protecting children is not only about laws. The government also supports programs that teach children and parents about online safety. Seminars, school lessons, and public campaigns help families understand the dangers and how to avoid them. When children know their rights and adults know their duties, abuse is less likely to happen. Education is a strong tool in keeping children safe.
Still, there is more work to do. The government must continue to improve services for victims and make sure laws are fully enforced. Communities should also support these efforts by staying alert and speaking up. By working together and truly fighting for the safety and rights of children, we can help build a safer world where every child is protected, valued, and heard.
