Sharing and learning - Workshops and lessons from the 2nd World Congress against CSEC

On 17 December 2001, more than 3,000 participants from 136 countries convened in Yokohama, Japan, for the 2nd World Congress against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. Over four days, they reviewed progress made since the first World Congress in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1996; identified new and outstanding challenges; and shared experiences with a view to continuing more effectively to combat this despicable violation of children’s rights.

The 2nd World Congress had been billed from the outset as a ‘working congress’, and much of that work took place in the more than 100 workshops that ran parallel to the plenary session from the first afternoon. This report summarizes the main lessons drawn in those workshops.
