As the end of Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month is here, there is no more important of a topic to highlight than this report by Rights4Girls. Grateful for their insights into the issue of demand.
Rights4Girls is proud to release our new report, “Buyers Unmasked: Exposing the Men Who Buy Sex & Solutions to End Exploitation” – which focuses on the men who buy sexual acts and highlights the devastating damage they cause marginalized women and girls in all our communities. The full report can be read and downloaded at: https://lnkd.in/dffgpMdB. At a time when the identities of those on Jeffrey Epstein’s “client list” and the participants of Sean “Diddy” Combs” “freak-offs” remain a mystery, Buyers Unmasked provides critical insight into an often-overlooked dimension of commercial sexual exploitation: the very buyers driving the global multi-billion-dollar sex trade. We chose January, Human Trafficking Awareness Month, to shine a bright light on those who finance and sustain this booming industry of sexual abuse and violence and offer solutions to prevent trafficking and bring justice and protection to survivors. Importantly, the report includes direct quotes from buyers themselves, illustrating how these men view and discuss the people they purchase for sex, as well as the overall act of sex-buying across the US. The report reveals sex buyers as fully aware and indifferent to signs of trafficking, intimidation, violence, substance abuse and desperation in the women and youth they purchase for sexual gratification.
