(i)
Evaluating the prevention programmes undertaken to date, with a view to
measuring their effect;
(ii)
Organizing education and awareness campaigns for children, parents,
teachers, youth associations and other persons working with and for
children, with a view to increasing their knowledge about the risk of
sexual exploitation associated with use of the Internet, mobile telephones
and other new technologies. Such campaigns should devote particular
attention to how children can protect themselves, receive help and report
online child pornography and sexual exploitation;
(iii)
Establishing partnerships with the media to develop audio-visual
programmes for children, families and the public, aimed at increasing
their awareness of and keeping them informed about the risks associated
with Internet use by children;
(iv)
Make technologies accessible, affordable and user-friendly to parents,
guardians and educators, especially filters to block images of children that
could be impropriate or harmful;
Increased participation by children, which requires:
(i)
Keeping children informed and teaching them how to protect themselves,
seek help and report sites and “grooming”;
(ii)
Promoting the participation of children and young people at all stages of
the development, follow-up to and evaluation of policies and programmes;
in campaigns; and through assistance programmes by and for children,
aimed at increasing awareness of and preventing online child
pornography;
(iii)
Considering the establishment of a fund for initiatives on the part of
children and young people in this area;
(g) Increased international cooperation because the absence of borders between
countries on the Internet requires effective and efficient cooperation to protect children
everywhere, which calls for:

Harmonizing practices and procedures in the areas of information, access
to and exchange of information, storing of computer data, regulation of
the public-private partnership between services responsible for applying
the law and ISPs, and training and content methods;
(ii)
