Sexual exploitation of children (SEC) is a grave violation of children’s rights and affects millions of children and youth annually, regardless of gender. No region, country or child is immune. It impacts heavily and lastingly on children’s physical, emotional and mental well-being

The programme aims for children in all of their diversity to live free of sexual exploitation. The programme uses a multi-sector, multi-actor and systemic approach, recognising the complexity of SEC and specific contexts in which it takes place.
