and stated that “Korean children are pressured for consumerism and money, which makes them vulnerable to prostitution329) and online sexual exploitation. Korea is committed to eradicating the distribution of child sexual exploitation, but it is still a source, transmission point and destination of online child sexual exploitation.” In its final opinion on the 5th and 6th national reports of the Korean government in Oct. 2019, the Committee on the Rights of the Child expressed its concern for lack of comprehensive policy and strategy to deal with and resolve all forms of violence against children, including digital sexual exploitation, and experts in related fields. It made a recommendation to establish strategies for crimes of digital sexual exploitation from the perspective of violence against children, train experts and implement public education programs, investigate and respond, and allocate sufficient human, financial, and technical resources. The rights of children must be equally respected, protected and realized in the digital environment. In particular, as crimes of sexual exploitation targeting children and adolescents are changing in ways that are difficult to respond to with existing laws, investigations, and support systems, the state has an obligation to establish a strict system that can protect children from violence newly emerging in the digital environment and punish the perpetrators. In the short term, a system to support digital sexual violence victims need to be strengthened by regularizing the information sharing channels, including the types of digital child and adolescent sexual violence and how to deal with them, increasing the budget and granting authority to the support centers for victims of children/adolescent sexual exploitation, and providing psychological counseling to the digital sexual violence victims. In particular, in the long term, it is important to continue the efforts to delete and block digital sexual exploitation to function effectively, including raising awareness of the problem that digital sexual exploitation causes extreme damage to the victims, and improving laws and the system, and establishing a foundation for international cooperation. 329) The international community views child prostitution from the perspective of ‘exploitation’ of children, and views children used for prostitution as ‘victims of sex buyers.’ The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child published a draft guidelines for the implementation of the 2019 Optional Protocol to the Convention, through which it encourages avoiding the previously used term ‘child prostitute’ and to use the term “sexual exploitation of children in prostitution.” 138
