Donate: Your Gift Preserves Childhood
Thanks to your donation, ECPAT-USA will continue its work to protect children from commercial sexual exploitation.
What We Accomplish With Your Support
ECPAT-USA
•Trains people in the travel industry to take an active role against sex tourism. The legitimate travel industry does not support commercial sexual exploitation of children. But its facilities may be used to that effect by people who travel abroad to sexually exploit children because they believe it is legal and culturally acceptable to do it overseas
•Provides technical assistance to U.S. companies that are developing their own staff training programs about child sex tourism. It also conducts training sessions for travel industry staff in the Cancun/Riviera Maya section of Mexico and in Belize.
•Informs the public that sex with children is against the law everywhere and if caught will be prosecuted and extradited to their home country, if necessary. It carries out frequent letter writing, brochure and public speaking campaigns aimed at travelers.
•Mobilizes Congress against child sex tourism. It meets with and provides written information to educate members of Congress and their staff about policies and laws that need to be in place to stop exploitation by American sex tourists. It asks them to sponsor legislation aimed at ending child sex tourism.
•Works to protect children sexually exploited by Americans who travel abroad to participate in the practice of child sex tourism; children trafficked to the United States; and American children trafficked and exploited within the United States.
•Collaborates with ECPAT organizations around the world to promote the “Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism”.
