Restoring survivors is important work, but it does not stop the problem of human trafficking. How do we END human trafficking?


To eliminate trafficking, we need to get to the root of the issue: Demand.


First, we must take an honest look at ourselves and see how we are contributing to the problem. You might not own slaves, exploit vulnerable people at your business, or pay for sexual acts, but what about the people who make your clothes or shoes? What about the laborers who pick your produce, or mine the minerals to make your phone? What about the people in front of the camera on that porn site?


Do you know if they are being exploited or trafficked?


Both labor trafficking and sex trafficking are driven by demand.


This means that industries such as textiles, electronics, hospitality services, restaurants/food service, traveling sales crews, agriculture, construction, and the commercial sex industry (i.e., pornography, strip clubs, and prostitution) are susceptible to trafficking.


Additionally, in a study of 854 women in prostitution across nine countries, 49% said that porn had been made of them while they were in prostitution, and 47% said that they had been harmed by men who had either forced or tried to force their victims to do things that men had seen in porn.


BUT we can be a part of the solution.


We can #DEMANDNOMORE.


Listen to the talent of the show, the Outlaws voice our #demandnomore PSA's.

Demand No More SEX


Step 1: Educate yourself and others.


  • Watch "DEMAND." This documentary, produced by Shared Hope International, focuses on demand factors for sex trafficking, one of the most significant being pornography. It also addresses how all forms of commercial sexual exploitation, such as pornography, stripping, and prostitution, are connected to all other forms, such as sex trafficking and slavery. Play:


  • Fight the New Drug has articles on how consuming porn hurts your brain, your heart, and the world.

  • Global Centurion has mapped hubs of demand on a global scale. "The purpose of these maps is to assist in understanding what drives the trade in human beings worldwide."


Step 2: Do Something!

Demand No More LABOR

Step 1: Educate yourself and others.

  • Download our infographic to share with your friends and family.

Step 2: Do something.

  • Download the apps Free2Work and Better Shopping World on your phone. These apps can help you make wise choices when shopping.


  • Find stores around you that have transparent supply chains (e.g., Patagonia, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods), so that you know where to shop. Make sure that they post their supply chain audits online for people to see.

Step 3: Let organizations know.

  • When you aren't buying a product anymore (say, Hershey's), write them a letter and let them know that if they offered more slave-free products, you would buy from them again. They can't change if they don't know.
