The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC) is an international NGO, and we envision a world where every child can grow up safe from exploitation, sexual abuse, or risk of going missing. For over 25 years, we have been a leader in identifying gaps in the global community’s ability to protect children from abduction, sexual abuse and exploitation, and expertly assembling the people, resources and tools needed to fill those gaps.

Our mission is to safeguard vulnerable children by:

• Powering the global search for children who are missing,
• Defending children from sexual abuse by disrupting the economics and mechanics of exploitation,
• Training frontline professionals to prevent and respond to cases of child exploitation.

We conduct research and develop capacity building activities such as training, technological and legal protocols to support international stakeholders (governments, law enforcement, policy-makers, educators, medical professionals, NGOs, and many others) in better protecting children against child sexual abuse and exploitation, and respond to missing children reports.
