One survivor shared:
Every day, millions of children, women, and men are exploited (OR bought and sold). Their bodies are exploited. Their dignity is stripped away. And even after escape, the trauma remains.
Each year, thousands of victims are rescued. Yet millions more are still trapped.
Rescue alone is not enough. Sex trafficking is fueled by demand. Until the demand is stopped, abuse will continue.

Men don’t become perpetrators overnight. The drivers of demand often start with deeper struggles:
Because every victim’s suffering begins with a buyer. Stopping demand means stopping abuse at its source.
Not at all. Addressing demand honors survivors by working so others never have to endure the same pain.
Yes, poverty and vulnerability matter; but without men willing to buy, there is no market to exploit the vulnerable.
This isn’t about blame, it’s about change. Men cause the harm, but they can also choose a different path. Real freedom and transformation are possible.
The abuse won’t stop until the demand is transformed. Men don’t just need punishment, they need a new way of life.
We believe that change is possible because we've seen it. Hearts can heal and true manhood can be restored.
