African Union hosts summit to fight child exploitation
非洲聯盟舉辦峰會以打擊剝削兒童行為
The African Union (AU) has taken a decisive stand against the exploitation of minors, moving from isolated national efforts to a coordinated, continental strategy.
非洲聯盟(AU)已對剝削未成年人的行為採取果斷立場，從孤立的國家努力轉向協調一致的洲際戰略。
Recognizing the shifting landscape of risks, the AU now addresses both traditional challenges like child labor and modern digital threats.
非盟認識到風險形勢的變化，目前既針對童工等傳統挑戰，也積極應對現代數位威脅。
A landmark moment occurred in 2019 when the AU hosted a global summit in Addis Ababa to tackle the rising danger of online sexual exploitation.
2019年發生了一個具有里程碑意義的時刻，非盟在阿迪斯阿貝巴主辦了一場全球峰會，以解決日益嚴重的網路性剝削危機。
Following this, the 2020 AU Summit solidified a Ten-Year Action Plan aimed at eradicating forced labor and human trafficking by 2030, aligning with global Sustainable Development Goals.
此後，2020年的非盟峰會確立了一項「十年行動計畫」，旨在2030年前根除強迫勞動和人口販運，並與全球「永續發展目標」接軌。
The foundation for these efforts remains the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, which guides current policy and legal harmonization.
這些努力的基石是《非洲兒童權利與福祉憲章》，該憲章引導了當前的政策與法律協調。
By integrating these goals into its "Agenda 2063" and "Silencing the Guns" initiatives, the AU emphasizes that child protection is inseparable from regional peace and development.
非盟將這些目標納入「2063年議程」及「平息槍炮」倡議，強調兒童保護與地區和平及發展密不可分。
Through enhanced legal enforcement, capacity building, and international partnerships, the AU is working to ensure that every child across the continent can grow up safe from systemic abuse and exploitation, regardless of whether the threats are physical or online.
透過加強法律執行、能力建設及國際合作，非盟正努力確保洲內每一位兒童都能在遠離系統性虐待與剝削的環境中成長，無論威脅是來自實體或網路空間。
