The IWF is a proud member of the European Child Sexual Abuse Legislation Advocacy Group (ECLAG), a coalition of non-governmental organisations committed to protecting children from sexual violence and abuse.
Ending child sexual abuse, both online and offline, demands a comprehensive, cross-border approach. ECLAG brings together a diverse alliance of experts, including child rights professionals, survivors of sexual violence, child protection hotlines, law enforcement agencies, and technology specialists. Together, we work to ensure that children are safeguarded from sexual abuse in all its forms.
The IWF is proud to sit on ECLAG’s Steering Group, alongside partners ECPAT International, Missing Children Europe, Terre des Hommes Federation, Eurochild, and Thorn. In total, more than 80 European and global organisations are represented under the ECLAG banner.
ECLAG works to ensure that every child in Europe and beyond is protected from sexual abuse and exploitation. The coalition advocates for ambitious, effective and rights-based European laws and policies to prevent abuse before it occurs, strengthen detection and response, support victims and survivors, and hold those responsible to account.
Through ECLAG, the IWF continues to champion stronger protections for children that reflect the urgent need to tackle child sexual abuse in the digital age.
