Our greatness is not what we have but what we give.
We envision a world where all women and children are safe and free to reach their fullest potential.
When you invest in your future through our work, you’re not only impacting the change you most want to see in the world, you’re also creating change in the lives of millions of children.
I hope you will join us in fighting against child abuse, human trafficking, child pornography and sexual slavery. We’ve done our research carefully and fully support the charities we’ve chosen. We’ve partnered with reputable NGO’s, like ECPAT (Ending Child Prostitution and Trafficking) The CODE and other non-profits working to end violence against women and children and promoting gender equality.
For now, the Greater Good Institute has also chosen to follow the 1% model. We give 1% of our time, 1% of our services and 1% of our profit back to these organizations to protect children from exploitation, violence and unnecessary suffering.
ECPAT envisions a world in which no child is bought, sold or used for sex. They are a non-governmental organization and a global network exclusively dedicated to ending the commercial sexual exploitation of children. ECPAT-USA advocates for federal and state legislation that prevents exploitation, protects children, and guarantees that any child who is trafficked will not be prosecuted in the courts for prostitution.
Every year millions of children are bought and sold for the purposes of sexual exploitation. Often abusers will travel far and wide so they can have easier access to children and engage with them in countries where they believe this kind of behavior is more acceptable. With proper protocols and training, hotels, airlines, and restaurants are in a unique position to identify traffickers and protect children.
The Code (short for “The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism”) is a responsible tourism initiative with the mission to provide awareness, tools and support to tourism companies to prevent the sexual exploitation of children.
ECPAT & The Code partner with travel industry leaders, such as Marriott International, American Airlines and Uber to implement guidelines and protocols in effort to end child sex trafficking.
We’re proud to support ECPAT-USA during our upcoming Journey for Good to Cartagena, Colombia, where we’ll meet ECPAT representatives, anti-trafficking leaders, CODE supporters and many other advocates working daily to protect women and children from being bought, sold and exploited for sex.
