Child pornography is a complex problem that cannot be addressed by a single agency. It requires the concerted efforts of various agencies, including government, non-governmental organizations, private sector, faith-based groups, media, communities, and families.

UNICEF took the initial step to address the problem of child pornography in the Philippines by commissioning the UPCIDS to conduct on a study on child pornography in the country. This study gives us more in-depth knowledge of the phenomenon and it will serve as an input for developing activities against child pornography. What is important is to increases the awareness about child pornography and understanding of its consequences to children and their development.

UNICEF has extensive experience in working on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation of children and it has created a comprehensive programme against abuse, exploitation and trafficking of children, which covers prevention, protection and rehabilitation and reintegration. UNICEF will help address child pornography in this programme.
