Centro Integrado de Apoio Familiar, CIAF, was created in 2018 as a spin-off initiative of its sister organisation, CIAF Brazil who is also an ECPAT member. Based in Porto, it is mainly focused on combatting the sexual exploitation of children in the context of travel and tourism. CIAF develops action plans together with ECPAT hosted initiative The Code, but also campaigns to prevent the child rights violations.

Portuguese law provides for active and passive extraterritoriality provided that the act double criminality is fulfilled, the perpetrator has been found in Portugal and extradition is admitted but not granted. Habitual residents are not included in this provision. Universal jurisdiction is provided for crimes committed outside Portugal when the act constitutes a crime that Portugal must prosecute under international law and for certain crimes committed abroad regardless of the nationality of the perpetrator provided that he or she is found in Portugal and cannot be extradited.
Portuguese courts have extraterritorial jurisdiction over SEC related offences if the perpetrator is found in Portugal and cannot be extradited or surrendered; or the crime is committed by Portuguese or habitual residents in Portugal; or the crime is committed against a minor who habitually resides in Portugal.
Portuguese nationals cannot be extradited unless extradition is done under the EAW or under international instruments (reciprocity) and where the facts justifying the request are punishable as terrorism or international organised. The extradition of a Portuguese nationals may be made conditional on their return to Portugal to serve any sentence. Double criminality is required for proceeding with extradition (punishable with a custodial sentence of a maximum duration of at least one year).
SEC offences are referred to as extraditable under the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) framework within the EU without requiring double criminality if the act is punishable by a maximum period of at least three years of imprisonment in the requesting State.
