Worldwide there is a growing number of campaigns that seek to challenge male demand for prostitution, which is the driving force behind sex trafficking.  If there were no demand, there would be no supply.  

"It is meaningless to separate demand for prostitution from demand for prostitution provided by trafficked persons." source p.iv.

Campaigns that involve billboards, posters, PSAs (public service announcements), videoclips and other media can be a powerful tool in raising awareness and educating.  Without blaming or shaming all men, we do encourage all men to stop, pause and think how they might contribute positively to stopping widespread sexual violence, exploitation and denigration.  Men are the key to change.
