Program
International Conference "Don´t Look Away!"
Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy
in the Gobelinsaal/room II (first floor), Stubenring 1, 1010 Vienna
22 and 23 March 2015
The campaigns „Gegen das Wegsehen” and „Don’t Look Away”
The campaign „Gegen das Wegsehen" was initiated in 2009 by the former
Austrian Ministry of Economy, Family and Youth, together with Germany and
Switzerland in order to send out a strong, coordinated message against sexual
exploitation of children in tourism and, at the same time, motivating travellers to
report suspicious encountering and observations.
In September 2010 the campaign was officially launched in the three countries,
using the spot „Witness”, and accompanying material (leaflets, pens, etc.) as well
as introducing the national reporting mechanisms.
The campaign was built on three pillars:
 Awareness raising: spot, material
 Reporting mechanism: websites, email-addresses in close cooperation with
the police
 Multi-stakeholder cooperation: Governments, Tourism sector, NGOs
Conferences took place from 2009 - 2013 in Vienna, followed by Bern and Berlin.
Based on this campaign, ECPAT partners in Europe in 2011 designed the EUproject „Don’t Look Away” which was accepted by the EU/DG EuropeAid for
funding. The EU-project built very much on the campaign „Gegen das Wegsehen”
and it was clearly aiming at strengthening the campaign and on inviting other EUcountries to join and set up similar mechanisms. France, Luxemburg, The
Netherlands and Poland agreed to be part of this multi-stakeholder initiative.
Sweden and Belgium are considering joining.
The conference
This is the first conference to welcome new members. It aims to set the framework
for cooperation and joint actions for the next 2-3 years.
Goals and expected output are:
 Strengthening the existing campaign: Exchange of experiences between
founding members of the campaign (Austria, Germany, Switzerland) and the
new partners;
 Integration of new members in a common structure;
 Strengthening the multi-stakeholder approach: Stronger involvement of
tourism partners; planning of concerted, yearly actions.
