Following the Code of Conduct’s signature by ACCOR Belgium in 2014, the staff must be trained to prevent sexual exploitation of children.

The 8th , 22d and 29th  of  September, ECPAT Belgium conducted training sessions for ACCOR’s managers in order to help their staff to detect and act against child prostitution within their hotels.

Participants raised relevant questions about procedures and the identification of victims. Given the success of this initiative, other trainings will be organized next year.

In preparation of the World Cup, the working group “Stop Child Prostitution” launches a new national campaign against the sexual exploitation of children for travelers going to Brazil, specifically to supporters who are attending the World Cup. The sexual exploitation of children is an alarming phenomenon in Brazil. The exceptional rise in tourists during this global event creates an increased risks of the sexual exploitation of children.

The partners of the “Stop Child Prostitution” campaign want to remind the travelers that if, on the spot, they are witnesses of the sexual exploitation of children, they can call the number 100 to directly report all cases of sexual exploitation to the Brazilian authorities. It is also possible to report the cases of sexual exploitation upon arrival in Belgium, or by the Belgian police using the link eCops through the site www.polfed-fedpol.be or through the contact point www.stopchildprostitution.be.
