The Result of Legalized Prostitution: Graphic Pro-Prostitution Book Given to German Children

In an appalling example of what happens when prostitution is legalized and normalized in society, German government officials have begun offering children a graphic picture book on prostitution. The book, titled "Rosie Needs Money," is advertised as a resource for 6-12 year-old children living in a red-light district of Berlin.

"Rosie," an immigrant from Bulgaria who is prostituted in the German sex trade, explains to children that prostitution is "a legitimate and important field." She then describes what it entails in sexually graphic and flippant terms.

Championing Change: Shaping Public Policy to End Sexual Exploitation

The Civil Rights Movement led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, abolishing racial segregation in public facilities and making employment discrimination illegal.

The Women’s Suffrage Movement led to the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote.

The Disabilities Rights Movement led to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, schools, and all places and services open to the general public.

History is full of examples of how concerned citizens changed society forever, when their grassroots efforts led to groundbreaking public policy.  

Together, we can do it again.

Advocating for important public policy is a key pillar in any effective movement for social change. The decisions of public policy makers have wide-ranging, generational impact, shaping culture and influencing what is considered acceptable behavior for decades and even centuries to come.

The Hill: Give Sex-Buyers the Attention They Deserve

By: Dr. Marcel Van Der Watt, Director of the NCOSE Research Institute

To solve the global problem of sex trafficking, it is time to hold not only traffickers to account, but also the people who create, enable and perpetuate this problem: sex-buyers.

... After all, traffickers may be the ones who pocket the money that is generated from sex trafficking operations, but it is sex-buyers who pay it.

Pornography Production Harm in Sweden:
Filmed Prostitution is Inseparable from
Non-filmed Prostitution

WHAT: A conference for survivors, advocates, policymakers, and people who care about human rights

WHEN: Tuesday, October 17, 2023, 9:30-17:00

WHERE: Location will be communicated closer to the conference date. Conference is in-person only. No Zoom or other remote options.

At this conference, Prostitution Research & Education will share the results of a 3-year research study about the ways that women and men are harmed in the production of pornography in Sweden. Survivors of pornography production, policymakers, and the researchers will speak at this conference that focuses on the least-often mentioned aspect of pornography harms: the harms to those people who are filmed in webcam pornography, studio-produced pornography, nude model pornography, and including those who were filmed by a sex buyer’s cellphone while he purchases sex acts.
