Demand Abolition

.@SwaneeHunt and @AshantiGholar exchange ideas about the #19thAmendment centennial, the groundbreaking candidacy of #KamalaHarris and where American women will be in the next 100 years cnn.it/2CYO3bu

Tune in to the @WorldWEUS speaker series tomorrow at noon to hear @briggsjimmie & Peter Qualliontine discuss a new mode of masculinity!

@MarianhatcherG is a force. Her endless intelligence & colossal heart inspire us! It’s irresponsible to fully decriminalize the commercial sex industry. We must decriminalize prostituted persons, but exploiters like buyers & pimps don’t deserve the same leniency. @RachelRMoran

Connie Rose, exec. dir. of Victims to Survivors: "Sex trafficking has not stopped. It has escalated.” Protect your community & obstruct exploitation. Support the #EqualityModel. #PeopleNotProducts @10TampaBay @WorldWEUS @VednitaCarter bit.ly/3a5mO9z

For those who are not aware... Pornhub is #Traffickinghub

Freedom is a struggle. Freedom is a fight. Freedom is never giving up on a fundamental human right. In 2020, that's what freedom means to me. What does freedom mean to you? Let us know... #MyFreedomDay. @CNNFreedom @cnni cnn.com/myfreedom

Some small steps toward improving safety for users have been made, but there is still rampant grooming for sexual abuse, sex trafficking, and child pornography happening on @instagram. endsexualexploitation.org/articles/how-i…

Sting operation lead by Cook County sheriff's office has made about 10,000 arrests since the National John's Suppression Initiative began in 2011. No buyers = no business. chicago.suntimes.com/platform/amp/2…

Pimps and traffickers rely on the increased concentration of buyers to raise their profits, selling the most vulnerable women and girls to satisfy the heightened demand. And the harms to those women and girls are enormous and undeniable. #CloseThisBusiness

When large numbers of men with disposable income are concentrated in one place for major sporting events, demand for sex buying increases.

Sex trafficking happens every day in America. The Super Bowl is an opportunity for us to connect the dots and illustrate the devastating harms to prostituted people that occur when men purchase sex.

@KateDDarden @PantsuitPolitic @SwaneeHunt @BostonGlobe You can check out our research here: demandabolition.org/who-buys-sex/ - hope it helps!

@PantsuitPolitic @SwaneeHunt @BostonGlobe Is there any research on prevention of this pervasive demand? Is it cultural or are some menborn with this desire/orientation? I sincerely want to know but am afraid a Google search will land me in an algorithm loop of hideousness.

The always extraordinary @SwaneeHunt has written about sex trafficking for @BostonGlobe. "Demand drives supply...Referring to 'underaged women' gives a pass to men who feel entitled to the bodies of vulnerable girls. The men have little to lose." bostonglobe.com/opinion/2019/0…

Proud to be a partner of the National Johns Suppression Initiative! Congrats on the recent success and keep up the good work! cookcountysheriff.org/national-sex-b…

Important article to understand what decriminalization means and a way to do it that protects women and girls from exploitation. washingtonpost.com/opinions/local…

On this #WorldDayAgainstTraffickingInPersons, we affirm that there is #NoSuchThing as a “child prostitute”, only victims and survivors of child trafficking. Today we recommit ourselves to the daily fight to ensure all survivors receive the support and services they need.

Demand Abolition’s Founder and Chair Swanee Hunt calls for a literal “act of Congress.”
