Combat Child Sex Tourism!
Combat Child Sex Tourism



Children
are innocent, trusting and full of hope. Their childhood should be
joyful and loving. Their lives should mature gradually, as they gain
new experiences. But for many children, the reality of childhood is
altogether different.
Help get Congress to increase the resources needed to fight child sex tourism>>


Read the Petition
Help spread the word

More
than 2 million children are enslaved in global sex trade, and without
increasing resources to catch predators, the abuse and suffering of
these children will never end.

In 2003 Congress passed The
Protect Act that made it illegal to sexually exploit children overseas.
However, this a global problem that cannot be solved by just making it
illegal. Without increased resources to support efforts to identify and
prosecute perpetrators, sex trafficking of children will continue.

Thanks you for your time today,
