Second Life is a virtual world where users connect online to create and experience real-life scenarios and environments.
In 2008 ECPAT International recognized that Second Life offers a unique platform for sharing knowledge of CSEC, creating understanding, distributing information, and facilitating connections among individuals.

The Island offers an introductory tour that uses an interactive quiz and interactive videos; the Resource Centre contains ECPAT publications; and a Training Centre is available to conduct online workshops.

The Island is still under construction and is hoped to go live within the next year.
