Summary
The Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People global campaign conducted in partnership between The Body Shop and ECPAT seeks to inspire long‐term change to strengthen the protection offered to children and young people and guarantee their rights to be protected from all forms of exploitation, including trafficking for sexual purposes. Through this campaign, The Body Shop and ECPAT are mobilising the public of countries around the world to engage actively to improve child protection against sex trafficking and join together in calling on governments to take action to fulfil three specific goals related to the prevention and protection of children against child sex trafficking and for the care of child victims. The goals identified are deemed crucial for the protection of children everywhere. Progress made by the states towards fulfilling these goals is being assessed through an innovative tool which provides information for each country using a ‘Progress Card’ that summarises the level of achievement on four specific actions that significantly contributes to realisation of the main goals identified in the campaign.
