A contribution of ECPAT International to the World Congress III against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents

This report examines four of the sub-sectors of the private industry: the travel and tourism industries, the media industries, new technologies and the financial alliance, identifying individuals and groups involved and their efforts in eliminating CSEC or, in some cases, perpetuating it. Although the obstacles or concerns of each project are reviewed, the central focus of the study is on "best practices" and "lessons learned"; in particular, the use of corporate social responsibility tools to reduce the incidence of commercial sexual exploitation of children within the respective industries are explored. The emphasis on positive outcomes demonstrate that good work can indeed be accomplished through an acknowledgement of the problem, coupled with a determination to make a difference in the lives of children.
