Philippines, May 21, 2020: A religious congregation of nuns in the Philippines has called on the public to be more vigilant against online sex exploitation of children amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement, the Religious of the Good Shepherd said women and children have become more vulnerable to domestic violence and exploitation during the lockdown.
The nuns said that while the pandemic has increased people’s yearning to feel connected through technology, there are those who use this to harm others.
“These individuals take advantage of the situation of their physical isolation to exploit others, especially women and children who are desperate to survive this crisis,” read the nun’s statement.
