Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill

The Cultural Exchange Between Species Bill is a government legislation that was passed three years prior to the start of Daily Life With A Monster Girl. It condones cultural exchange between human and humanoid species.

Before the act, the government, will it was aware of their existence and actions in the world, would hide the presence of humanoid species from the general human population. After it was decided that all species could benefit from open and peaceful co-existence with each other, the bill was proposed and passed. Through the guise of a cultural exchange program, many of the humanoid species have successfully integrated into human society, however, there does exist individuals and groups who wish to take advantage of or otherwise harm members of alternate species and so legislation has been enacted to incorporate members of humanoid species into the "human rights" acts. Protecting them from being acted upon by, or act upon with, violence with the threat of criminal charges and appropriate punishment.

Cultural Exchange Program
Working in the same manner as typical international cultural exchange programs, through this program humans have been sent to experience life within the cultures of alternate species, while members of those cultures have also been invited to experience life in the human world.

To protect the program's participants, various rules have been formed. Chief amongst these is the rule that alternate species are forbidden to harm humans, whether it be physically, emotionally, psychologically or financially, and vice versa. Another rule prevents sexual intercourse and marriage between species, with the punishment of imprisonment and/or deportation being enacted upon the participants. An amendment to this rule, that allowed for interspecies marriage between individuals, is later trailed.

Cultural Exchange Security Squad & M.O.N.
The Cultural Exchange Security Squad and Monster Ops: Neutralization (M.O.N.) are specialized combat squads assigned with the task of upholding the laws of the Cultural Exchange Program. Due to the rule forbidding humans from harming extra-species, and visa versa, the Cultural Exchange Security Squad (a squad consisting of solely human agents) is assigned to deal with humans while M.O.N. (a squad consisting solely of extra-species agents) is assigned to deal with members of extra-species.

Incidents these squads are involved in include but are not limited to; retrieval of wandering cultural exchange participants, rescue of kidnapped participants.
