    Abul Mansur Mohammad Sharf Uddin shared that the Pornography Control Act 2012 and the Children Act 2013 shall be revised in order to develop a separate legal provision on online sexual harassment of children. He further added that the mass people shall be made aware and careful of such provisions in order to protect children from online sexual exploitation and harassment.<\/p>\n

Saimum Reza Talukder, Sr. Lecturer, School of Law, BRAC University, and Advocate, District Court, Dhaka recommended the Government to form a Cyber Emergency Response Team (CERT) under the supervision of Digital Security Agency of the Digital Security Act 2018, where the CERT shall be a quasi-judicial body consisting of law enforcement personnel, technological experts, judges, lawyers, government officials and members from the civil society. This team shall be responsible to provide one stop service to the victims of online harassments and cybercrimes by acknowledging complaint to conducting digital forensic of cybercrime, organising trial and punishing the offenders.
