Child-sex workshop
A special workshop to combat child sex abuse on the Internet will be hosted by the US- and Thai-funded International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA), and will instruct participants about the techniques used by paedophiles to target victims through the Web, and offer practical advice on how to combat this.
The workshop, which will run from Monday to April 6 in Bangkok, is also being jointly funded by the British missions in Phnom Penh and Bangkok, and Microsoft Corporation. The training has been designed and will be delivered by experts from the UK's Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, together with associate members of The Virtual Global Task Force. The task force is an international alliance of law enforcement agencies from Australia, Canada, the UK and the US, working to protect children from sexual exploitation. The workshop will also broaden international cooperation, and aid capacity building and information sharing within, and between the countries of the region. The British ambassadors to Thailand and Cambodia said in a joint statement: "We are delighted that Microsoft have once again joined forces with the UK government to combat child sex abuse through the Internet. This is another excellent example of how different partners can work together. We look forward to sharing our expertise and learning from our counterparts in the region".
