What’s New
Safer Internet Day serves as an important reminder that staying informed about the evolving digital landscape is a responsibility that we all share. By understanding online risks, both children and parents can stay empowered, take control of their digital presence, and strengthen their own privacy.
We are honored to have contributed to the content of a historic treaty. Having a seat at the table at the United Nations allows us to contribute to strengthening protections for children from sexual exploitation and trafficking.
On this International Migrants Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of migrants in our communities.
There is continuous research that reaffirms that boys are an underserved population and often fall through the cracks of child protection systems because of biases against their victimization.
Founded as ECPAT-USA in 1991, we helped to spearhead the child protection movement when child trafficking was not widely recognized…
There exists a prevailing ideology that refuses to acknowledge that boys can be and are victims of sexual exploitation. As an underserved population, they often do not seek out or receive support due to stigmas surrounding boys’ masculinity.
As the nation’s first organization to work on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation of children, PACT has built a movement to protect children grounded in education, partnerships and community engagement, and advocacy. Because of the PACT community, we are able to share our 2023 Annual Report, marking our first full year under our new name, Protect All Children from Trafficking (PACT).
Behind the breathtaking landscapes and diverse cuisines that travel offers us, the dark underbelly of travel presents a much different reality. The growth of travel and tourism can pose significant risks to children when preventative measures are not in place.
As a survivor-centered organization dedicated to the prevention of child sex trafficking and exploitation, PACT stands in solidarity with survivors of human trafficking and highlights these critical issues.
Everyone can help!
Learn the signs of trafficking
It just takes one person to recognize the signs of sexual exploitation and trafficking, and offer support. One small act can change an entire future, replacing a terrible trauma with hope and possibility. Together, we can stop child trafficking before it starts!
Raise awareness
In our work, one of the biggest challenges we face is the belief that child sex trafficking and exploitation doesn’t happen in the U.S. Help us raise awareness on the issue by educating yourself, sharing what you learn with others, and signing up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date.
Donate
PACT relies on the support of individuals like you to aid in our mission to end child sexual exploitation and trafficking. There are many ways to support our programs. And remember, every donation counts!
Professionals’ Training
As a professional from the hospitality or travel industry, you can educate yourself and your staff on human trafficking, and learn how to report a suspected case. PACT offers online training tailored to your work context.
“Over the past three decades, PACT has grown from advocating for strong policy to launching life-changing educational programs for children, teachers and entire industries.”
