ECPAT International
ECPAT was originally established as a campaign to end child prostitution in Asian tourism by a group of NGO workers and other concerned individuals in 1990. In 1996 ECPAT evaluated the previous five years of its work and recognised that, while it's activities had been very successful at publicising and mobilising action on the situation of child sex tourism in Asia, the commercial sexual exploitation of children was a growing global phenomena which takes many forms. The Executive Committee of ECPAT then decided to widen the scope of its work to encompass the issues of child pornography and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes and to broaden its focus to become an international campaign.
