Hyatt, American Airlines Announce Major Donation to ECPAT-USA

As part of their Customer Summit this week in Chicago, Hyatt Hotels and American Airlines reaffirmed their commitment to ending child sex trafficking with the announcement of a major donation in support of ECPAT-USA’s work. Additionally, at the three-day event for their top corporate members, the two companies highlighted their private sector partnerships with ECPAT-USA and the impact such partnerships have on the fight to protect every child's right to grow up free from the threat of sexual exploitation.

As corporate partners and members of The Code, both Hyatt and American Airlines have taken concrete steps to prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. ECPAT-USA is excited about the continuing efforts by these companies to train their staff about child trafficking and taking all the steps in their power to protect our most precious resource, our children.
