1,000+ Allies Join Survivors: No Full Decriminalization of the Sex Trade

World Without Exploitation
World Without Exploitation
17 min readJul 2, 2019

We, the undersigned 1,069 individual allies and organizations fully support the nearly 350 sex trade survivors who have come together in the letter to urge US presidential candidates to stand for equality, denouncing the decriminalization of the sex trade in its entirety.

While we wholeheartedly support decriminalizing people in prostitution, we understand that failing to criminalize those who exploit – the pimps, sex buyers and brothel owners – allows them to cause devastating harm to our most marginalized with complete impunity.

We know that human trafficking and sexual exploitation are human rights issues, fueled by gender, racial, and income inequalities. If we truly want equality, we must work toward a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited.

We urge candidates to #ListenToSurvivors and support true equality.
