Welcome on the site of ECPAT the Netherlands. ECPAT stands for: End Child Prostitution, child pornography And the Trafficking of children for sexual purposes.

Sexual exploitation of children and adolescents cannot be solved by any single nation or organisation working alone. Coordinated international action by governments, international organisations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and communities worldwide is needed to counter these violations against children.

Following the 1996 Stockholm and 2001 Yokohama global forums, Brazil hosted the World Congress III against the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 25-28 November 2008.
