The objective of this project is one part of International collaboration data gathering for the global goal of ending sexual exploitation of children.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in September 2015 mentioned how to achieve the global goal of ending sexual exploitation of children by 2030. Therefore, to formulate effective strategies to combat sexual exploitation of children, reliable and accurate data and research must be used as the basis for formulation. However, when children are the subject of research, specific research ethical issues will be triggered, especially the research ethics code with "child sexual exploitation" as the main issue has not formulated a set of standard implementation guidelines in the international community. Relevant guidelines may allow children and adolescents who have been sexually exploited to encounter psychological or physical harm again during the research process. Therefore, National Chung Cheng University, ECPAT Taiwan and ECPAT International-End the Sexual Exploitation of Children (ECPAT International-End the Sexual Exploitation of Children) jointly organized the "International Symposium on the Research Ethics of Child Sexual Exploitation", inviting children from all over the world Conservation experts and scholars related to research ethics gathered in Taiwan to discuss and develop guidelines for the research ethics of child sexual exploitation. Our school's participation in this action includes:
1. Sign MOU with ECPAT to join the action;
2. Co-host international symposium which compare the research ethics guidelines established by NGOs with the university research ethics review process;
3. Jointly establish a global research ethics code for this research and publish "Guidelines for the Research Ethics of Child Sexual Exploitation";
4. Jointly promote an action plan for ending sexual exploitation of children.
