The Asha Forum Declaration

In December 2001, The Asha Forum gathered together Christian leaders at the 2nd World Congress Against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. One of the recommendations of this group was that The Asha Forum develop a clear declaration of position, which Forum Participants could endorse to officially recognize their support of the movement.

In October 2002, The Asha Forum convened the first-ever international gathering of Christians for the express purpose of linking and enhancing the Christian response to child sexual exploitation worldwide. A draft declaration was presented and the delegation recommended the declaration be condensed to one page to increase the likelihood of its practical use.

Since this consultation, the forum Advisory Team and many others from around the world have worked to develop this one page declaration. The Asha Forum is meant to be your forum, and this declaration is meant to be your declaration.
