	Child sex tourism (CST) is an organized multi-million dollar industry (including tour guides, websites and brothel maps). Sexual predators will often travel to developing countries looking for anonymity and the availability of children in prostitution. Developing countries, whose poverty levels encourage desperation, are potential hot spots for predators with money to spend on a criminal desire.

The Human Rights Working Group is committed to promoting internationally recognized human rights standards in corporations’ operations, their suppliers and in the societies where they do business. The Working Group challenges corporations to adopt, implement, monitor and report on comprehensive human rights policies that respect the rights of employees and the rights of individuals and groups in the societies where they operate.

Mission Statement

We believe that every human being is created in the image of God. The dignity of the human person must be respected and protected. We believe the promotion and protection of human rights –civil, political, social, religious, cultural and economic—are minimum standards for all social institutions, including companies. We commit to work to change corporate policies and practices to ensure respect for the basic human rights of all stakeholders.
