Ming Yang High School & Legal Aid Foundation Qiaotou Branch Jointly Host Legal Education Seminar on Sexual Assault Prevention and Child & Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention
On January 14, 2025 (Tuesday), from 2:55 PM to 4:30 PM, Ming Yang High School, in collaboration with the Legal Aid Foundation Qiaotou Branch, held its annual Legal Education Awareness Seminar in the school auditorium. The session focused on "Sexual Assault Prevention and Protection Against Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation" and was led by Attorney Lin Zong-Yi, invited by the Legal Aid Foundation Qiaotou Branch. A total of 168 participants, including 72 faculty members and 96 students, attended the seminar.
Key Highlights of the Seminar:
To enhance students' understanding of legal protections against sexual assault and child/youth sexual exploitation and to strengthen their legal literacy, Attorney Lin introduced relevant legal frameworks and practical cases. He emphasized the importance of developing healthy interpersonal relationships while raising awareness about laws that prevent sexual offenses, urging students to stay away from crime and never test the boundaries of the law.
At the beginning of the seminar, Attorney Lin provided an overview of the Legal Aid Foundation, explaining its purpose and the process for seeking legal assistance, ensuring that students are aware of their rights if they ever need legal support.
During the lecture, rather than focusing on rigid legal texts, Attorney Lin adopted an engaging and interactive approach to distinguish between sexual assault and sexual harassment, helping students understand the boundaries of personal space. He stressed the importance of assertively refusing any form of illegal infringement.
When discussing the Child and Youth Sexual Exploitation Prevention Act, Attorney Lin referenced real-life cases from news reports, explaining practical legal implications in a concise manner. He highlighted the importance of gender equality, the elimination of discrimination, and the protection of personal dignity. Additionally, he warned about the dangers of internet misuse, emphasizing that laws protecting minors are strict, and sharing explicit images of minors, even unintentionally, is a serious offense with severe legal consequences. Given the high internet usage among teenagers today, he cautioned students to be extremely careful.
