ALUNA : Child-protection based strategies to fight against sexual abuse and exploitation crimes (EUAR106)

Child sexual abuse and exploitation are among the worst forms of violence against children and constitute serious crimes that know
no borders. The continuous increase in child sexual abuse and exploitation, not least due to the Covid#19 pandemic, highlight the
importance of harmonised national legislation and international cooperation to prevent these offenses, protect the victims and prosecute
the perpetrators. The fight against these awful crimes is a global fight that involves governments, law enforcement agencies, civil
society, communities, and, of course, companies. ALUNA project proposes an innovative, ambitious, interdisciplinary, international
child-protection-centered approach to fight against CSA/CSE crimes. ALUNA focuses on the three main components (Prevention,
Investigation, and Victim Assistance) to establish a coordinated contribution with LEAs by developing an appropriate approach that is
capable of addressing specific needs and providing protection to childhood..
