The Match means you can make an even greater impact for the children, women, and men who are being treated as commodities— bought and sold as part of a massive, worldwide business enterprise that has no regard for human dignity, human rights, or even human life. Check out these top four examples of how your giving is affecting real change: - EARN IT, legislation reintroduced in January, unanimously passed the Senate Judiciary Committee! The bill has one overriding goal: to hold tech companies responsible if they aid and abet the distribution and/or consumption of child sexual abuse material. Its committee passage takes the bill one big step closer to passing the full Senate!
- On February 9, a federal court ruled that our class-action lawsuit against MindGeek can move forward! MindGeek is the owner of Pornhub, one of the world’s most popular pornography websites. As a result of this groundbreaking ruling, the victims of Pornhub’s callous disregard for innocent children are one step closer to justice!
- Inspired by Mastercard’s new commonsense measures to hold the credit card industry accountable, 500 Harvard students wrote an open letter to Visa’s CEO, asking them to do the same. NCOSE staff consulted with the students, providing them with background and research. It's exciting to see students take on a powerful industry with lots at stake!
- States are making more arrests of sex buyers. And the mediaare not only reporting this heightened law enforcement but also increasingly using the words trafficking and prostitutioninterchangeably, reflecting a shift in their understanding of how the issues connect.
Let's keep the momentum going in this battle! As we continue to work toward an end to the demand for sex and hardcore pornography, the business of sexual exploitation will be shut down for good. Give now so your gift can be doubled, up to a total of $15,000! |
