About us

How we work

ECPAT UK stands for End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes. We are a leading children’s rights organisation campaigning against the commercial sexual exploitation of children in the UK and on its international aspects.

In particular, we focus on the protection of trafficked children and children exploited in tourism and the prevention of such crimes. We do this in a number of ways.

 

Successes

Since 1995, ECPAT UK's targeted and focused campaigns have been successful in improving child protection, including the introduction of new UK legislation and ratification of relevant international conventions. 

 

History

ECPAT UK is the UK national representative of ECPAT International, a global network of children's rights organisations in over 70 countries.
