answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>We have already made significant progress in combating online child sex abuse and exploitation, but it’s clear that we have much, much more to do.</p><p>The WePROTECT Global Alliance Global Threat Assessment 2018 highlighted that the scale, complexity and danger of the online child sexual abuse threat has increased over the past three years. This has been facilitated through the ubiquity of mobile devices, anonymous access and encryption.</p><p>In 2017, 82,109 individual industry referrals were received by the National Crime Agency (NCA), from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), a 700% increase since 2013.</p><p>The Government has invested £7.5m in a ground-breaking Centre of Expertise to identify, generate, and share high-quality evidence of what works to prevent and tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation.</p><p>The Centre published a revised assessment of the scale and nature of child sexual abuse in August 2018, which highlighted that online is a new context for child sexual abuse and exploitation and is generating new forms of abuse which are difficult to track accurately. Measuring the scale of abuse in the UK will be an ongoing priority for the Centre.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 08/02/2019 14:19:38 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the comments of Hafiz Entisha Ahmed published in the Guardian on 30 January that Asia Bibi “deserves to be murdered”; and, following the decision of the Supreme Court of Pakistan to uphold her acquittal following nine years’ incarceration on death row, why she has not immediately been offered asylum in the UK.

uin	HL13272
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister set out on 14 November, the release of Asia Bibi will be very welcome news to her family and to all those who have campaigned in Pakistan and around the world for her release. We welcome the assurances the Government of Pakistan has given on keeping her and her family safe, and it is important that all countries seek to uphold the rule of law and afford security and protection for the rights of all citizens irrespective of faith or belief.</p><p>It is a longstanding Government policy not to comment on individual cases. In accordance with our duty of confidentiality, we cannot confirm whether an asylum claim has been received or the outcome of such a request. Departing from this policy may put individuals and their family members in danger.</p><p>We remain deeply concerned by the misuse of the blasphemy laws in Pakistan, and the fact that religious minorities are disproportionately affected. The harsh penalties for blasphemy, including the death penalty, add to these concerns.</p><p>We regularly raise our human rights concerns with the Government of Pakistan at a senior level; and we have urged them to take steps to prevent the misuse of the blasphemy laws. My Foreign and Commonwealth colleague, the Minister of State for Commonwealth and the UN, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, discussed our concerns about Freedom of Religion or Belief and the protection of minority religious communities with Pakistan’s Human Rights Minister, Dr Shireen Mazari, in September 2018. We will continue to press the new Government of Pakistan to adhere to its international obligations and uphold the rule of law.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 13/02/2019 16:35:51 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
