@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

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

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. https://t.co/3NFHoKsAf8

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. https://t.co/mstnF5pWvE

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.

[Demand Abolition @DemandAbolition]

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.

Important article to understand what decriminalization means and a way to do it that protects women and girls from exploitation. https://t.co/Wq5JcIYn4h

[rights4girls @rights4girls]

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.”

[Boston Globe Opinion @GlobeOpinion]

Teen girls trafficked for sex by the likes of Jeffrey Epstein aren't “young women” — they are children subjected to multiple sexual assaults each day, writes @SwaneeHunt. https://t.co/4j4vgdwfqK
