In a year that raised the question why?, ECPAT-USA never stopped asking, how?
-
How do we teach children to stay safe from the threat of online grooming and exploitation when their entire lives have moved online?
-
How do we prevent sex trafficking when the usual child protection systems are distracted, underfunded, and interrupted?
-
How do we support the hospitality industry and its ongoing efforts to identify and counter trafficking and exploitation during this pandemic?
-
How does a person's race or gender determine the justice and supportive services received as a trafficking survivor?
-
How do we partner with policymakers to keep pace with technology and protect kids from predators?
-
How do we properly value the contributions of trafficking survivors and elevate their voices to create a more robust child protection agenda?
-
How do we keep kids safe?
And from so many of you we are thankful to have heard, how can I help?
We could not have answered these questions and met the challenges of this year without guidance from the members of our Survivors’ Council. Check out this important conversation about the realities of sex trafficking in the U.S., featuring three members of the Council that we hosted earlier this year.
