Child sexual exploitation takes the global stage as the doors open at the
Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Winnipeg, Manitoba - Beyond Borders ECPAT Canada will be showcased in the CMHR exhibit
called “Protecting Rights in Canada”. Focusing on mobilization for legal reform, this gallery is
designed to help visitors understand how different legal traditions have helped shape the Canadian
legal system and show how individuals and organizations have used this system to better protect
human rights. A text panel explains the Beyond Borders ECPAT Canada story and its
importance, and is illustrated by photographs of founders Rosalind Prober and Mark Hecht and
other artifacts.
"We are very honoured that the CMHR has recognized our work to prevent child sex tourism and
our lobbying campaigns to protect the rights of children to be free from sexual exploitation," states
Rosalind Prober President of Beyond Borders ECPAT Canada.
Beyond Borders ECPAT Canada is a bilingual advocacy organization, advancing the rights of
children everywhere to be free from sexual abuse and exploitation. We are a registered charity
without political or religious affiliation.
