Vacant job

Do you want to contribute to a world free from the sexual exploitation of children? We are expanding and looking for advisors for our support services for children and adults in contact with children. As an advisor at Ecpat Sweden, you will play a key role in our work to provide support to children who have been or are at risk of being subjected to sexual abuse.

Ecpat Sweden is a child rights organization working against the sexual exploitation of children. We do this in several ways. Our operational activities consist of two helplines, one for children and young people - Ditt Ecpat, where we offer support and help via chat, phone, and email, and one for guardians and adults in contact with children - Ecpat Adult Support. We also run the Ecpat Hotline, a reporting site where the public can anonymously tip off about suspected sexual exploitation of children. These tips allow us to provide information to the police. We also remove abusive images and videos of children from the internet. Another important part of our work is advocacy and influencing decision-makers. We do all this in collaboration with authorities, businesses, and other organizations in Sweden and globally.
