DAVAO CITY — The Department of Social Welfare and Development -Davao expressed alarm over the emergence of closed groups on social media which are used as platform to traffic sex workers.
These closed groups need administrators’ approval before anyone can join and interact with the sex workers, she added. Credo added that the workers get paid through electronic cash transfers such as Palawan Express Padala and GCash. Peter John Cabanilla, victim witness coordinator designate for the Department of Justice -Davao, added that the prosecutors find it challenging to prosecute persons involved in sex trafficking and online prostitution as it is difficult to look for evidence to establish the crime and most of the victims choose not to pursue the case.
He said online prostitution poses challenge for government to step up efforts to prevent online trafficking and prostitution.
