ECPAT-USA

ECPAT-USA recognizes that the movement to end sex trafficking must draw upon the lived experiences of survivors for guidance on how to protect vulnerable youth and craft legislation and policies that will be the most effective in preventing child sex trafficking. It is from this understanding that ECPAT-USA created our Survivors’ Council, which allows for a direct line of communication between those working to end commercial sexual exploitation and those who are the true experts in this field. The Survivors’ Council currently includes women and men from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Its diversity makes it uniquely representative of the situations experienced by survivors of human trafficking. Survivors’ Council members serve as subject matter consultants and are compensated for their expertise. By uniting survivors across the United States, the Survivors’ Council supports members’ voices and autonomy to lead and connect with others, valuing their experiences and know-how with this issue.
