Protective Environments: a model to prevent child sexual exploitation in travel and tourism context — Colombia case study and Costa Rican experiences

by ECPAT International in 2023

This case study addresses the experience of the Protective Environments model implemented in Colombia under the leadership of Fundación Renacer, a member of ECPAT International.

This model was developed to prevent child sexual exploitation associated with travel and tourism through cooperation among the public and private sectors, communities, social organizations and the media, with the active participation of children and youth. The results of the implementation of the Protective Environments model are effective in the modification of attitudes and practices of the different social actors around this problem and greater protection for children.
