On 12 May 2016 the Global Study on Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism report was launched after two years of research, resulting in the largest information bank ever collected on the issue. A unique research endeavour, The Global Study was able to engage 67 partners from different sectors, including UN agencies, government agencies, NGOs and companies. Its findings have made headlines around the world. Mark Capaldi and Dorine van der Keur will share the methods for the study and highlight findings on the social factors contributing to the sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism worldwide. They will also point out gaps in knowledge and recommendations for future research.
