Demand Abolition

Demand abolition is the movement to eliminate the demand for paid sex, viewing it as a form of exploitation and human rights violation. Instead of focusing solely on criminalizing sex workers or clients, it aims to challenge societal factors and attitudes that enable demand for prostitution. The goal is to address root causes such as gender inequality and economic disparity, ultimately reducing the circumstances that lead people into sex work. By targeting demand, the movement seeks to prevent trafficking, protect vulnerable populations, and promote a society where no one feels compelled to engage in or seek paid sex.
