There is no coordinated law for the protection of children from online risk

Children are facing various risks including online sexual abuse. Children's risks are increasing due to the absence of the Personal Information Protection Act. No standard operating procedures were created for law enforcement agencies to prevent online sex violence. There is no law enacted to protect children.

On Monday, the speakers said this at a discussion titled "Online Child Sexual Harassment Prevention: Legal Review". The law and arbitration center (ASK) organized the discussion meeting.

In a meeting held at the National Press Club, BRAC University School of Law senior lecturer Saimum Reza Talukdar highlighted the Digital Security Act-2018 on the harassment of children, Information and Communication Technology Act-2006 and review and analysis of the Pornography Control Act-2012. He said, "There is no definition of cyber crime under various relevant laws. No provision has been made to protect the children in the Information and Communication Technology Act and the Digital Security Act. '

In the discussion, Joint District Judge of the Law Commission Tahsin Iftekhar said, there is no law to protect children from various sexual harassment risks online. The law commission is trying to make such a law. Think of the formation of the National Child Commission, the issue of launching one stop service to deal with various risks online.

Public prosecutor of the cyber tribunal Mohammad Nazrul Islam said in the discussion, people including guardians of such crimes are totally unaware. He said that to reduce such crimes, laptops, computers, mobile phones, as well as the custody of the devices should be guarded. Cybercrime cases can not be compromised in any way. If the child is not 18 years old, he does not want to use the Android phone, he also advised to increase child surveillance on the internet.

According to DMP Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit (CTTC) additional deputy commissioner Mishuk Chakma, according to various statistics, women with children are being victim of cyber crime. There is more happening in the village than the city. Parents often give their mobile hands to the child, and in this way, many cybercrime incidents are being done without the knowledge of the guardians, so parents are being criminalized as the owner of mobile phones.

Mishuk Chakma said, "There is no remedy with the internet service providers, but children are suffering from pornography but they are not available."

Executive Director of ASCA Shipa Hafiza and Program Specialist Kartik Chandra Mandal of TDH Netherlands participated in the discussion. They give importance to the public awareness of cyber crime.
