“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing”

– Edmund Burke

UNICEF estimates that there are nearly two million children trapped in the commercial sex trade. It doesn’t have to be this way. Through IJM’s work in developing countries, we have seen strong indications that targeted investments in public justice systems can result in an overall decline in the number of children victimized by these terrible crimes.

The Child Protection Compact Act (HR 2737) builds on that successful model by authorizing the State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Office (G/TIP) to provide significant financial resources to develop functioning justice systems in selected countries, ensuring that the local police, courts and authorities can rescue children and bring traffickers to justice.
