ECPAT NZ Incorporated

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, ECPAT NZ Incorporated is a beacon of hope for children and young people across New Zealand and beyond. Established with a passionate commitment to safeguarding the wellbeing of our most vulnerable, we have stood as an unwavering guardian since [founding date]. Our mission is deeply rooted in fostering a world free from sexual exploitation, where every child thrives in safety and dignity. We combat domestic and international trafficking of children for sexual purposes, address the insidious issue of child sexual abuse, and strive to eliminate exploitation within travel and tourism. We are relentless in our pursuit of justice for those who have fallen victim to these heinous acts, offering support, resources, and a pathway towards healing. Our work extends beyond borders, as we collaborate with global partners to combat online sexual abuse material and strive towards the eradication of child marriage—an unacceptable practice that continues to rob children of their childhood. At ECPAT NZ Incorporated, research plays a crucial role in shaping our strategies and advocacy efforts. We delve deep into the complexities of these issues, unearthing patterns, trends, and solutions that propel us forward in our mission. Our findings guide policy development and inform critical conversations about child protection within governmental bodies, community organizations, and international forums. Every day, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of collective action. We invite you to join us on this journey towards a world where every child is free to dream, learn, and grow—unencumbered by the shadows of exploitation and abuse. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless children, ensuring that their futures are filled with hope, opportunity, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Welcome to ECPAT NZ Incorporated—where every voice matters and every child counts.
