ECPAT-USA was fortunate enough to send a representative to the US Government’s meeting with the UN Committee on the Rights of a Child that took place in Geneva this May. Although the committee commended the US government on its progress, they noted that addition progress was needed to ensure the protection of children’s rights, noted in their recommendations.

On June 18 we are holding a public information session about the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography featuring our representative Jonathan Todres, of Georgia State University, Carol Smolenski, Executive Director of ECPAT-USA and Padma Seemangal from ECPAT-USA’s youth committee.  This discussion will be from 1:30 to 3:00pm at the Bahá’í Offices, 866 United Nations Plaza, Suite 120 (1st Avenue and 48th Street).

We hope that you will be able to make it.
