| In the digital age, the problem of pornography has become so vast, so unfettered, that the only true solution is to pursue systemic change. NCOSE’s 60+ years of experience has led us to conclude that the most effective way to help the most people is through mass-scale prevention. What do we mean by that? Well, imagine if … - Parents didn’t have to worry about their child being exposed to pornography, because all tech devices and platforms had pornography-filtering software which was ON by default, and pornography websites were required to meaningfully verify that their users were 18+
- Far fewer people became addicted to pornography, because they were protected from being exposed to it at a young age, when their brain was most susceptible to addiction
- Nobody was sex trafficked into pornography, because there were rigorous requirements for pornography websites to verify the age and consent of everyone depicted in all video uploads
These are just a few examples of solutions NCOSE pursues to achieve mass-scale prevention. And these solutions ARE achievable, with your help! Read more here. |

| The International Centre on Sexual Exploitation (ICOSE, the international arm of NCOSE) commended German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for recognizing that sex buying is unacceptable. Prostitution is legal in Germany.
According to German news outlet Deutsche Welle (DW), Scholz said, “I don’t think it’s acceptable for men to purchase women,” and that he “would like to see further legal restrictions on sex work in Germany.”
In an unexpected public statement, the German Chancellor has given a very different public message than many would expect from the leader of a country that has supported and encouraged prostitution. Seemingly, the political U-turn signifies an understanding that its previous position has been to its own detriment. Read more here. |

| Join the World Without Exploitation (WorldWE) Youth Coalition on Wednesday, November 29th at 5:30 pm EST for Native People Not For Sale.
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, WorldWE Youth Coalition will be discussing the particular impact of the sex trade on indigenous communities in North America. Indigenous women are overrepresented in prostitution in a clear legacy of colonial exploitation of Native peoples.
The webinar spotlights survivors of commercial sexual exploitation who do particular advocacy and educational work to bring awareness to the intersection of the prostitution system and the historical marginalization of indigenous people. Moderated by WorldWE Youth Writing Group Coordinator Jade Bentley, the conversation will feature Trisha Baptie, Founding Member & Community Engagement Coordinator at Exploited Voices Now Educating; Jeri Moomaw, Executive Director, Innovations Human Trafficking Collaborative; and Beatrice Wallace, Family and Youth Worker at the ICF Regina.
