Project Watch International

Too often sex offenders who assault children in Asia walk away without prosecution. Local police forces often do not have the capacity to investigate these cases and collecting evidence can be very hard. This is why between 2013-2016, Terre des Hommes trained private detectives to track down Western and local child sex offenders, so that children can grow up in a safer environment.

This approach is based on a successful project developed by our project partner APLE in Cambodia, Indonesia, The Philippines, India and Nepal. This project, named Project WATCH (Working Actively Together for Children), was supported by the National Postcode Loterij.
