Not For Sale - No! to child sex tourims in Morocco

Certainly NOT for sale!

SOS Morocco is a non profit organization that was launched last month by a group of Moroccans living in America. The mission statement is to FIGHT sex tourism in every way possible to protect our Moroccan kids from sexual and psychological abuse.

I've also heard about a moroccan organization In Marrakech "Touche pas mon enfant" that try to do the same work !!!

I think that those organization must enlarge their action to fight the sexual tourism generaly and not only the one envolving kids.

I definitely agree with you, but it would be really hard to fight it all from the country. We had to narrow it down to child sex tourism because those are the ones that need our help because they are minors.

Fighting sex tourism in the country is a big challenge..it would be impossible to eradicate it but our hope is to minimize it.

"Touche pas mon enfant" et "Touche pas a mes enfants" both organizations deal with local cases: abuse within the country from local sex offenders. SOS Morocco, however, is spreading the message throughout the world about child sex tourism and warning sex predators to stay away from kids or else would be put behind the bars.

SOS Morocco is hoping that once the idea reaches the public attention, the country could come up with a constitution that single out sex predators in the country like they do in US>...we'll see how far that goes...
