For more than two decades, The International Centre has worked to make the world safer for children by eradicating child abduction, sexual abuse and exploitation by identifying gaps in the global community’s ability to properly protect children. We’re dedicated to building a global community of caring adults and institutions all working together to bring about a world where children can grow up free from going missing, from being abducted, sexually abused or exploited.

Headquartered in the United States, with regional representation in Brazil and Singapore, ICMEC works in more than 120 countries to identify gaps in the international community’s ability to protect its children and bring together the people, the resources, and the tools needed to fill those gaps, because we believe safeguarding children is a responsibility every one of us shares.
