European Women's Lobby -EWL
[
Turn Off The Red Light is a
campaign to end prostitution and sex trafficking in
Trafficking of women and young
people for the purposes of sexual exploitation is a modern, global form of
slavery. We believe that the best way to combat this is to tackle the demand
for prostitution by criminalising the purchase of sex.
The purpose of the alliance is to
raise public awareness about the dangers of prostitution and sex trafficking
and to lobby the Government to introduce legislation to end the exploitation of
women, men and children in the sex industry.
We believe that tackling the
demand for paid sex that fuels the prostitution industry into which women, men
and children are trafficked is the most effective way to combat this heinous
crime.
