Advocacy group bats for child protection

Advocates of an international organization in the Philippines on Sunday expressed hope that the next government would engage in more decisive actions to stump out child sex trafficking in the country.

Evelyn Pingul, communications and advocacy director of the International Justice Mission – Philippines (IJM-Philippines), said there is still a long way to go in addressing the problem of child sex workers, considered by the International Labor Organization (ILO) as one of the worst kinds of labor.
