London

During the preparation of her previous report on child pornography on the Internet,
the Special Rapporteur had taken note of good practices in the United Kingdom and
therefore wanted to meet key players in London active in combating and preventing the
exploitation of children on the Internet. Thus, in December 2009, the Special Rapporteur
went to London to meet Government officials and representatives of public bodies
specialized in combating the exploitation of children on the Internet. The meetings focused,
among other things, on good practices and problems encountered in efforts to combat the
exploitation of children on the Internet.
Montreal

In February 2010, the Special Rapporteur spoke with numerous people in Montreal
who are actively involved in issues related to the sexual exploitation of children. In
particular, she met police officers from the provincial youth protection department, as well
as representatives of civil society and the heads of programmes for children vulnerable to
sexual exploitation. The meetings focused, among other things, on good practices and
problems encountered in efforts to combat the sexual exploitation of children.
