ECPAT-TBS

In 2009 the answer became the goal to stop sex trafficking of children and young people around the world.

In an exceptional alliance between an NGO and the private sector, ECPAT International joined forces with The Body Shop to create the first global campaign ever launched to stop the trafficking of children and youth for sexual purposes.

The Body Shop has a long history of commitment to social and environmental causes with the added mission of bringing change to the lives of millions of children worldwide through actions that will help provide them better protection.

The Stop sex Trafficking of Children and Young People campaign seeks to inspire groundbreaking change and mobilise global action to protect children and young people's right to freedom from sex trafficking and all forms of exploitation.

At the launch of its second year, the campaign has already had far-reaching effects, surpassing most of its initial goals. These include raising awareness, spurring long-term action and raising funds for preventive action and direct support for child survivors of sex trafficking.

In 2009 The Body Shop launched its Soft Hands Kind Heart hand cream with all proceeds going to the ECPAT Network and selected partner organizations around the world.

ECPAT International and The Body Shop have also organized activities worldwide to support the cause through rallies, media events, film screenings, activities featuring local celebrities, decorating city metro buses with the campaign logo and colours and distributing important information about child sex trafficking.

Join us in making history.

This campaign is possible with the support of The Body Shop.
