A/HRC/22/54 come together in regional education campaigns, forums, meetings and follow-ups to work to ensure the sustainability of programmes to prevent child sex tourism in the region.42 In October 2010, ECPAT Netherlands, Plan Nederland, the travel agents TUI Netherlands, the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (ANVR), Fly Brazil, the travel agents Travel Counsellors, Plan Brazil, RESPOSTA and the World Childhood Foundation Brazil embarked on a three-year project offering vocational training to girls, motivating the tourism sector, reminding the Dutch and Brazilian authorities of their duties, raising awareness amongst travellers and providing training for travel professionals. IBCR, in collaboration with Fundación Paniomor and with the support of World Vision Canada, is beginning a new project in Costa Rica, which will aim to improve collaboration and the prosecution of these kinds of crimes against children. Moreover, the project will focus on working directly with children, families and communities of the most affected areas in Costa Rica, providing information, tools and the creation of a support network for the victims of this exploitation. Adolescents will receive information about the mechanisms of self-protection and income-generating alternatives to commercial sexual exploitation. 43 71. Recognizing that child participation must be an integral part of any prevention strategy, Movimiento Para el Autodesarrollo Internacional de la Solidaridad, an ECPAT affiliate group in the Dominican Republic, coordinated a series of youth mobilization and advocacy activities in Puerto Plata, to promote child participation in the Youth Network against CSEC. Activities included a street drawing and poster workshop, face-to-face mobilization and a municipal encounter coordinated and run by the youth network. 44 72. Highlighting the role of communities in preventing and combating CST, ECPAT Philippines set up a community-based initiative against CST in Borocay, based on a comprehensive response strategy which included: efforts to prevent denial, preventive actions and early interventions, capacity-building of stakeholders and programme localization to guarantee the sustainability of the project. ECPAT Brazil, in an effort to prevent CSEC during the 2012 carnival in Rio De Janeiro, launched a campaign called “CSEC is not samba”, partnering the Bus Terminal of Rio de Janeiro, where 12,000 tourists were expected to arrive. The campaign logo was featured on bandanas, posters, banners and paper fans to encourage the public to report any suspicions by dialling 100 or contacting the local children’s protection unit. Alongside the campaign, ECPAT Brazil conducted a twoday course prior to the carnival.45 73. A new initiative aimed at preventing child sex offenders from abusing children abroad under the cover of their employment was launched by CEOP in October 2012. The International Child Protection Certificate was set up to respond to the fact that teaching and employment in roles that provide access to children accounted for 7–19 per cent of the cases of British child sex offenders who abused children overseas between 2006–2011. The Certificate, a police check for British nationals who are travelling and working overseas, allows international schools and other organizations who work directly with children abroad to access the criminal conviction history of British citizens and those who have resided in the United Kingdom for any period of time. 46 42 43 44 45 46 16 Information available from www.childwise.net/International-Programs/the-child-wise-tourismprogram.html.
