Consorcio ECPAT Bolivia

Consorcio ECPAT Bolivia is formed by Pastoral de Movilidad Humana (PHM) and Fundación Munasim Kullakita (FMK), two of the leading non-governmental organisations in Bolivia working against commercial sexual exploitation of children. Besides their programmes on CSEC, they are broadly recognised in the country for being co-chairs of Mesa El Alto contra la Violencia Sexual Comercial, a coalition of governmental and non-governmental organisations that lobbied for the legal reforms in 2011 on CSEC and trafficking in persons, and has remained since then to coordinate actions nationwide on the issue. Their main areas of intervention on the topic are:

Fundación Munasim Kullakita

• Assistance to CSEC Victims: identification, shelter and inter-disciplinary support in recovery and reintegration. Their programme includes assistance and follow-up once children have finished their process.
• Prevention: Mainly in schools, intervention with teachers and caretakers.
• Counselling in communities: Direct intervention in communities, offering counselling services to youth and families.
• Advocacy and network strengthening: FMK is a well-recognised NGO, and has access to governmental entities (both national and in the provinces) to advocate successfully for reforms and actions on CSEC. This work includes providing technical support to other NGOs to ensure a broader impact of their advocacy actions.

Pastoral de Movilidad Humana

• Assistance vulnerable communities, mainly within contexts of migration. The organisation includes a specific programme on CSEC and trafficking for sexual purposes. Provides shelter and inter-disciplinary assistance.
• Repatriation and international support to victims.
• Advocacy: currently, PMH represents the Civil Society of Bolivia before the ‘Pluri-National Council on Trafficking in Persons”, a public scenario for policy coordination on the issue.**Miembro Afiliado, Se unió a la Red ECPAT en el año 2016**
