Unverified non-profit organisation

Against Child Trafficking is a non-profit organization, registered in the Netherlands.

ACT’s main focus is the prevention of child trafficking for inter-country adoption by advocating child rights based social policies that are in compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is the universal standard and the best safeguard against child trafficking.

ACT is monitoring inter-country adoption practices worldwide and conducts research on child rights issues, particularly those that effect children deprived of parental care and trafficked children. Thanks to its work, ACT serves as Documentation & Research Center. Indeed, its collected data serve local, regional and international child rights/human rights NGOs and networks, as well as individual child rights advocates and lawyers who deal with child trafficking issues, and of course the media.

ACT also alerts international organizations and national governments to concrete cases of child trafficking for inter-country adoption.

ACT supports victims of child trafficking, retraces family members and helps to file criminal complaints, without charging for this because most of its clients have very limited funding, and they do not have the means to travel to their country’s main cities to file their cases, let alone to pay a lawyer. This is especially true for parents of stolen/missing children who live far away in the often poverty stricken countryside.
