About the organization

ECPAT Luxembourg

NGO / INGO / Development Projects

Baluwatar, Kathmandu, Nepal

ECPAT Luxembourg is a non-governmental organization based in Luxembourg. We work to end the sexual exploitation of children. Currently, we intervene in several countries across South and South-East Asia, West Africa and Luxembourg. Our projects focus on protecting children from different forms of sexual exploitation. We ensure that their families and communities are supported so that protection is strengthened in a sustained manner. To do this, we closely work closely with multiple national stakeholders, including governments, to support and complement national efforts to protect children from sexual exploitation.

ECPAT Luxembourg is awaiting final approval of a federal grant from the US Department of State’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP) to implement a 4-year South Asia regional project potentially starting from 1 March 2023. Consistent with the TIP Office’s 2021 programming priorities for the region, project MUKTI South Asia will strengthen anti-trafficking responses by addressing critical shortcomings in protection for victims of child sex trafficking highlighted in the 2021 TIP Report. It will engage state and civil society stakeholders at multiple levels and strengthen their capacities and knowledge to coordinate efficiently to protect and care for survivors of cross-border child sex trafficking.

The project covers trafficking source and destination states of Maharastra, Goa, Delhi National Capital Region, West Bengal (Districts of Alipurdwar, Jalpaiguri, Murshidabad, 24 Parganas-North and 24 Parganas-Souths) and Jharkhand (Santhal Pargana region, Sahebganj district) in India. In Bangladesh, it covers the south-western districts of Jashore and Satkhira along the border with West Bengal, India and close to the Bay of Bengal. Countrywide survivor assistance is planned for Nepal.
