Why Prostitution is Not "Sex Work"

Since the 1970s, a tactical and politically driven agenda has been advanced to promote the global sex trade. This agenda has rested on the reframing of prostitution along two seemingly disparate lines, one being the promotion of prostitution as ordinary work, and the other being the promotion of prostituted people as a sexual minority. 

Although powerful interest groups have expended a great deal of energy and finance in shifting public opinion on both these points, the reality is that neither of these things are true.  

Prostitution is neither sex nor work. 

Learn why by reading this analysis by Rachel Moran, renowned author, woman's rights campaigner, and  Director of International Policy and Advocacy at NCOSE. 

📣 ACTION: Ask your legislators to oppose full decriminalization of the sex trade!

The misleading narrative reframing prostitution as "sex work" has led to increased support for harmful policies that decriminalize pimping, sex buying, and brothel keeping. If you are a U.S. resident, please take 30 SECONDS to ask your local elected officials to oppose these policies!

NCOSE In The News

Part of advocating for solutions to end sexual exploitation includes educating and engaging the public through media. Too often these issues don't get the attention they deserve, but we are pushing them to the front page! Check out some recent coverage of NCOSE in the news:

► NDT News' Good Morning: TV Interview with Dr. Marcel Van der Watt, Director of the NCOSE Research Institute. Dr. Van der Watt discusses recent FBI rescues of sex trafficking victims. He commends the rescues but explains that every victim rescued will simply be replaced by more victims, until we address the demand for sex trafficking (i.e. sex buyers).  

► Rolling Stone: Discusses litigation against influencer-turned-accused sex trafficker, Andrew Tate, and Tate's vicious harassment of survivors who have spoken out.Includes commentary from Haley McNamara, NCOSE Vice President.

►The Federalist: Discusses how mainstream social media platforms facilitate child sex trafficking and calls on Congress to hold them accountable. The article mentions Twitter as a prime example, and links to the NCOSE Law Center's work representing a survivor of child sex trafficking in a lawsuit against Twitter.
