IVLP Impact Award Project: Empowering Community Leaders to Combat Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Trafficking in Persons (TIP)

The project is a two-day training workshop designed to forge a spirit of collaborative networking among 44 barangay chair and youth leaders, social workers and law enforcers of Iligan City. Through interactive sessions, scenario-based training, structured learning experience and psychosocial support care exercises, participants will gain a profound understanding of activities from rescue to restoration. Empowered leaders will serve as catalysts for broader change, taking active roles in engaging their constituents through advocacy campaigns and community mobilizations, thereby strengthening community participation and ownership for self-reliance.

The invitations have been sent to participants, including government employees and resource speakers, for a two-day training workshop on combating online sexual abuse and exploitation of children. The finalized training topics will equip personnel to address and report online sexual abuse and exploitation of children, aligning with the national administration’s efforts to intensify government programs and services in combating this issue. The National Office of the Department of Justice will provide educational communication materials.

 “Ultimately, this project's success lies in its ability to empower leaders and survivors to seek help, access resources, and rebuild their lives with dignity and integrity. By empowering them, they become advocates for change within their own communities, inspiring others and breaking the cycle of abuse. Thus, this project is not only an investment in the well-being of local leaders and survivors in the community but also a step towards creating a safer, more just society where human rights are upheld, and all individuals can live free from violence and exploitation.” - Jasmin Guiuo-Diaz

IVLP Exchange Experience   

Jasmin participated in the IVLP Project Building a Coordinated Societal Response to Counter Online Sexual Exploitation of Children organized by the U.S. Department of State and CRDF Global, in partnership with World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana, World Affairs Council of New Hampshire, WorldBoston and WorldDenver.

Jasmin’s exchange experience led to the development of her IVLP Impact Award project: “My engagement with the Colorado Human Trafficking Council struck me with the worth and value of the role of local government units in combatting OSAEC/TIP and in providing needed support and appropriate intervention to survivors."

Building the capacity of the local community through their leaders and service providers empowers them to take proactive action as together we craft a symphony of hope and justice, resonating through the passion and shared goals that connect us.” - Jasmin Guiuo-Diaz
