Unfortunately, ending these practices is not a simple matter.

Demand also remains high in more prosperous countries, making the practice even more difficult to eradicate. Though it is not impossible. Find out how you could help be a part of this movement here.

How we can Help
With these six policy changes and recommendations we could drastically change the outcome of human trafficking and reduce the overall number of men, women, and children forced into sex trafficking each year.
-Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution
-The need to help women working in the sex industry, particularly in reducing the harm to these women and providing for their basic needs
-The creation of international and regional initiatives and legislation to address both trafficking and prostitution
-The enactment of measures to prevent trafficking, such as eliminating the structural factors that push women into trafficking networks
-The enactment of measures to protect victims of trafficking, such as the initiation of economic alternatives and credit schemes for women in prostitution that provide them with options to leave the sex industry
-And the enactment of measures to prosecute both traffickers and buyers.
