On April 25th, during a panel discussion at a specialized police training workshop organized by the Australian Federal Police at Hyatt Hotel in Phnom Penh, Mr. Seila Samleang, Director of APLE, provided insights on tackling child sexual exploitation. Mr. Samleang underscored the urgent need for improved collaboration among various stakeholders to address this serious issue effectively.
Mr. Samleang spoke passionately about the importance of cross-border cooperation among law enforcement agencies, victim support NGOs, and the global technology industry. He articulated how these entities must work hand-in-hand to combat child sexual exploitation, stressing that an integrated approach is the key to making significant strides in preventing and prosecuting these crimes.
Highlighting APLE?s mission to protect children from abuse and exploitation, Mr. Samleang’s message aligns with the organization’s longstanding commitment to fostering collaborative efforts. By encouraging partnerships and shared responsibility, APLE aims to build a robust network capable of delivering comprehensive support to victims and ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice.
APLE believes that the fight against child sexual exploitation cannot be waged in isolation. The April 25th event served as a significant reminder of the power of unity and the shared mission. Moving forward, continuous dialogue, resource sharing, and collective advocacy will remain paramount in our endeavors to create a safer world for children.
