The Child Rights Network says the Philippine High School for the Arts' 'repeated failure' to stop alleged abuses in the school show that child protection mechanisms are not implemented well.
Vice News’ June 28 report reawakened calls demanding accountability from educational institutions allegedly failing to provide safe spaces for their students against sexual abuse.
“The reported crimes against children are crimes of power, with power relations between teachers and house parents in the boarding school tilted against their victims. As these are crimes of power, in most reported cases, victims are robbed of immediate recourse, and carry the unreported trauma way into adulthood,” the CRN said.
The alliance called on the DepEd, the CCP, and the whole government to expedite investigations and execute comprehensive actions to ensure the abuse is put to a stop.
