Overview Child Focus Belgium
http://www.childfocus.beAbout us
What we do: Child Focus Belgium is the European Center for Missing and Sexually Exploited Children, dedicated to the protection and welfare of children at risk. Our core mission is to provide immediate assistance and long-term support to victims of abduction, sexual exploitation, and runaways, as well as their families. We offer comprehensive psychological and legal services, community outreach, and advocacy to prevent harm and ensure no child is left behind. Our work spans prevention, intervention, and awareness-raising, collaborating with national and international partners to create a safer environment for children across Europe. We operate a toll-free emergency number, 116 000, available throughout the EU, and manage initiatives to combat online child sexual exploitation, including reporting mechanisms and educational resources for professionals and caregivers.
Where we are located: Our headquarters is located at Av. Houba de Strooper 292, 1020 Bruxelles, Belgium. As a national organization with a European mandate, our primary operations are based in Brussels, the heart of Belgium’s bilingual capital region.
Short history: Child Focus was founded in 1996 by Jean-Denis Lejeune, following the abduction of his daughter and her friend by Marc Dutroux, a case that shocked the nation. Inspired by similar organizations abroad, Lejeune advocated for the creation of a dedicated center to support missing and exploited children. The organization became fully operational in 1998 and has since handled thousands of cases annually, closing about 70% within a year. Child Focus has played a pivotal role in raising public awareness, influencing policy, and providing direct support to affected families. Her Majesty Queen Paola serves as the honorary president, underscoring the organization’s national importance.
Organization & culture: Child Focus employs a diverse team of 86 professionals specializing in social services, communication, project management, and more. We foster a culture of compassion, integrity, and collaboration, where every team member is empowered to contribute to our mission. Teamwork and respect are central to our operations, and we value the expertise and dedication of our staff in making a tangible difference in children’s lives. Our organization is structured to ensure rapid response, ongoing support, and effective advocacy, with a clear focus on the rights and well-being of children.
Recent developments: Child Focus continues to expand its digital safety initiatives, offering media literacy resources and training for professionals working with children. The organization remains at the forefront of combating online child sexual exploitation, with tools and hotlines available in Dutch and French. Child Focus also participates in European-wide awareness campaigns and collaborates with other NGOs to strengthen child protection networks. While specific recent awards or product launches are not highlighted in the available information, the organization’s ongoing commitment to innovation and collaboration in child protection is evident.
