Child Exploitation in Davao Oriental
Serious issues of child prostitution, sexual abuse, and child labor are reported in Davao Oriental, Philippines. Specific towns mentioned include Baganga, Banaybanay, Boston, Cateel, Governor Generoso, and Lupon. In April 2023, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-Davao) assisted 65 victim-survivors of prostitution in the region, including Banaybanay. Poverty is cited as a key factor driving girls into vulnerable situations, including absconding from homes.
Legislative efforts have been made, such as appropriating funds for Banaybanay and enacting laws against prostitution, particularly penalizing those profiting from it.
