It's Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Here's a Prevention Tactic that Works.

January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. To make this month more than mere lipservice, we should be working on assessing and implementing tactics that actually 

do

 prevent trafficking. One such tactic is gathering momentum, with four states having implemented it and many more considering being next.  

What is this tactic? 

Making sex buying a felony. 

“Woah,” some people might think. “Isn’t that a little extreme? Sure, the sex 

traffickers

 should be charged with felonies. But the sex 

buyers? 

They’re just normal guys getting their needs met!”

The truth is, however, that sex buyers are the

 driving force behind all sex trafficking.

 And they are 

primary perpetrators of violence 

against sex trafficked and prostituted individuals.

The only reason sex trafficking exists is because sex buyers create a 

demand 

for it. Without this demand, traffickers would have no incentive to exploit people for money. No Buyers=No Business.

This comes after global backlash as the Grok chatbot from X (formerly Twitter) was generating sexualized images of people without their consent.
