“The most rewarding aspect of my experience was coming to the realization that the initiatives I contributed to at ECPAT will have far-reaching effects on raising public awareness about the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). I was thrilled to have the opportunity to lobby international governments to implement and enforce more comprehensive statutes that will provide the proper protection and care for victims of CSEC. I feel fortunate to have worked alongside such dedicated and motivated individuals, consistently producing high quality work using limited resources. The ECPAT team’s persistence and passion for bettering the lives of children across the globe was truly inspirational and I am certain that this experience will have long lasting effect on my personal and professional development.”
