The SEC programme

Terre des Hommes Netherlands (TdH NL)'s SEC thematic programme protects children by preventing and responding to online and offline child sexual exploitation, and by empowering children to influence policy and practice.

As catalysts for systemic change, TdH NL collaborates with diverse partners to build protective environments for children and create lasting changes in children's lives.

Through child-centred, trauma-informed and intersectional approaches we empower children and their communities, co-create solutions with and for children while ensuring their meaningful participation and safeguarding.

We connect them with those who have power to enact change and advocate and influence duty bearers.

We use our knowledge and expertise on child exploitation issues to generate evidence through research and documented learning to expand knowledge, co-create solutions that are proven to work, and scale successful approaches through our networks.

We work to leverage and complement the work of other agencies, NGOs, formal and informal community groups and government actors, based on an analysis of our optimal contribution to lasting changes in the lives of children at risk and survivors of sexual exploitation.

We are currently active in Europe, East Africa, the MENA region and Asia, where we build local and global partnerships, coalitions and networks for joint learning and action.

Through this role, we would like to further design and implement programmes to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation in the Netherlands.
