What
We're Doing
ECPAT’S work
ECPAT International
is a recognised authority and source of information
on child abuse images and children’s safety
on the Internet. The Secretariat runs a Protecting
Children Online project in selected countries
in Asia including Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines
and Thailand. The project trains professionals
working directly with children. It provides
to parents, schools, NGOs and government agencies,
customised national versions of Protecting Children
Online: An ECPAT Guide and the E-Baby CD-Rom.
It has also developed teacher training and curriculum
modules and conducted training sessions for
teachers.
The Secretariat has
done research on Internet use and the knowledge
of parents and teachers of the risks to children.
There are research projects in Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua,
India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Morocco
to identify legislation in relating to child
pornography and the use of the Internet and
new technologies for its production and distribution.
The research will also identify existing gaps
in the legislation and elaborate recommendations
for legal reform and improved law enforcement
in those countries.
In addition, ECPAT
groups around the world work every day to make
children and young people safer on the Internet.
Their activities include hotlines, monitoring
and reporting online child abuse, research,
lobbying for tougher legislation and sentencing,
working with industry and government on codes
of conduct, and education campaigns and training
for children, parents, educators and police.
