Every Child Protected Against Trafficking (ECPAT UK) is a leading children's rights organisation working to protect children from trafficking and transnational exploitation. We support children everywhere to uphold their rights and to live a life free from abuse and exploitation.

Since its establishment as a multi-agency coalition in 1994 (registering as an independent charity in 2004) ECPAT UK has played a pivotal role in raising the awareness of policymakers, professionals and the general public in order to tackle and prevent the exploitation of children.  We work directly with victims of trafficking to support them and to enable their voices to be heard across the spectrum of debate - at all times ensuring that our work is child-centred, rights-based and that it is rooted in every child’s fundamental human right to be protected from trafficking and exploitation.

We are part of the ECPAT International network, which is present in 93 countries, working to end child exploitation.

Our vision

Children everywhere are free from exploitation, trafficking and modern slavery

Our Mission
