CRC Sale Protocol Articles 1 to 3 and Application

The sale and sexual exploitation of children is a crime

You can ask for protection from sale, sexual exploitation and sexual-abuse material, including if a placement is being used to facilitate abuse.

How you can use it

1. 1Leave for a safer place if you can.
2. 2Tell child protection, police, a doctor, lawyer or trusted adult.
3. 3Ask for safe accommodation, medical care and legal help. Do not confront the person alone.

What a violation looks like

A provider arranges exploitation, or a placement is used to facilitate abuse, and nobody investigates.

Words you can use

“I may be being sold or exploited. I need protection now.”

If speaking is hard, write it, draw it, send a message, or ask a trusted adult to say it with you.
