ECPAT USA is part of a global network of organizations and individuals working together for the elimination of child prostitution, child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes. It seeks to encourage the world community to ensure that children everywhere enjoy their fundamental rights free and secure from all forms of commercial sexual exploitation.
"Fighting Trafficking Worldwide - TODAY”
For decades, traffickers have used the travel industry to their own advantage, including using airlines to move victims to and from locations or using hotels to set up encounters between victims and individuals purchasing sex. But we, as travelers, can take a stand against the trafficking of millions across the globe.
In recognition of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we are calling on you to end this exploitation and be a responsible traveler. Being a responsible traveler means understanding that trafficking is happening in our backyards. It means choosing to travel with companies that have incorporated anti-trafficking policies and training into their business models. It means raising awareness of the issue and raising your voice for those who are unable to do so.
