Terminology Guidelines for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse
Adopted by the Interagency Working Group in Luxembourg, 28 January 2016
Communication is of critical importance in our efforts to respect, protect and implement the rights of the child.
In order to make this communication with and between children, parents, governmental officials, professionals and volunteers working with or for children as effective as possible, we need to use terms and concepts that all these actors understand and consider respectful.
