Accolades

Being recognized for the work we do on behalf of children and youth who are sexually exploited is a great honour. It confirms for us that others value the rights of young people as much as we do and it spurs our continued advocacy.

Thank you.

 

Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize

In August 2013, ECPAT International was selected to receive the Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize of $1.5 million, the world’s largest prize of its kind.

As the ECPAT organization representing Canada, we were thrilled about the prize as it underscores the incredible impact of organizations from across the world coming together under the ECPAT umbrella to act globally against a growing worldwide scourge.

Being part of ECPAT International has been of great benefit to Beyond Borders. It’s allowed our organization to benefit from the experience of an international team and has given Canada a greater voice globally on this critical child protection issue. It’s been a key ingredient to our success in Canada with legal challenges and reform as well as our ability to raise public awareness on the issue.
