National Child Sexual Exploitation Awareness Day – Wednesday 18th March 2015

Operation Phoenix is running the It’s Not Okay campaign in support of this.

What is child sexual exploitation?

It’s not okay for someone to make or manipulate you into doing sexual things for the benefit or enjoyment of others.
It is a form of sexual abuse and it is against the law.

For example, someone may try and get you to do sexual things by:
• offering you money
• hurting or threatening to hurt you
• humiliating or threatening to humiliate you
• buying you presents
• taking you out to places
• giving you a place to stay
• telling you that they love you
