This is a direct appeal to the UN's Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (#CEDAW) from the women who have survived the brutal system of prostitution, and know it to be anything but "work."

Last month, along with our co-campaigners in Ireland, we wrote to the Irish Joint Committee on Health about the #surrogacy:

“We therefore ask the Committee whether the Amendment Bill will bar from surrogacy any person convicted, in Ireland or abroad, of a sexual offence,
an offence against a child or trafficking …Additionally we ask the Board what the assessment consists of in relation to the safeguarding of children, how it will ensure that no woman abroad was recruited through coercion or the abuse of her vulnerability and whether it will publish its members' declarations of interests.”

The Chairperson of the Authority replied on 13 October but failed to address our questions.

⚠️Los menores víctimas de violencia dentro de la familia aumentan un 75% en 5 años. El padre es el principal agresor en todas las violencias.
⚠️La mayoría de las víctimas son niñas y chicas adolescentes, más del 80% en el caso de las agresiones sexuales. https://t.co/WrX4xiqsiC

IMP case against OnlyFans, an unpoliced sex trafficking zone. @LailaMickelwait @CATWIntl

To be clear, $140 is the average monthly earnings on OnlyFans for the content creators. This is a weird promo piece for OF and the sex trade

Rescatadas 25 mujeres explotadas sexualmente por una red criminal en Ibiza. Las víctimas tienen entre 18 y 25 años y fueron engañadas con falsas ofertas de empleo. #ProstituciónEsViolencia #LeyAbolicionistaYa https://t.co/5mdHlqYx0u

Our Founder @lexington1920 has been quoted in @Telegraph today.

“Surrogacy agencies, fertility clinics and other commercial entities have a clear financial interest in normalising the idea that a woman should harvest her eggs or undertake a pregnancy for others as a way to share her good fortune.”

With our thanks to @nicolelampert for this pertinent piece.

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay, an important day for recognition and accountability. Today, and every day, we recommit to ensuring every Indigenous woman, girl and Two-Spirit person can live a life of dignity, free from exploitation and violence.

As we remember #RobinMorgan, we honor a feminist voice that never shied away from naming the systems that sustain inequality and reminding us that liberation requires changing those systems, not simply making them more comfortable.

[rights4girls @rights4girls]

Behind every act of #femicide is a pattern of violence that began long before the final act. We must take intimate partner violence seriously in order to build a culture where girls and women are safe in their homes, relationships, and communities. #DVAM2026

🎯“¿Qué es el abolicionismo de la prostitución?” explica de forma sencilla los pilares del modelo abolicionista.
👉Queremos acabar con falsos mitos sobre la prostitución y hacer llegar a la población por qué el abolicionismo es la política feminista de los derechos humanos de las mujeres.

#23S Hoy es el El Día Internacional contra la Explotación Sexual y la Trata de Personas.
👉Instaurado en 1999, la fecha se eligió en recuerdo de la promulgación el 23 de septiembre de 1913, en Argentina, de la primera ley contra la explotación sexual infantil en el mundo.
🎯El abolicionismo es la política de derechos humanos que hace responsables a traficantes, proxenetas y demandantes de prostitución; que da salida y apoyo a las víctimas; que promueve la igualdad entre mujeres y hombres.

The theme for the 81st session is "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All." As the #UnitedNations continues to adapt to an evolving context, it is paramount that the human rights of women & girls be at the core of such changes.
