Changing minds and hearts on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation is critical to our efforts at World Without Exploitation (WorldWE). But lasting cultural transformation will only occur when we also change the laws that have allowed the sex trade to flourish in the United States and beyond our borders. With over 170 member groups working in virtually every state in the nation, WorldWE is uniquely situated to support local and statewide advocacy efforts while spearheading and coordinating national policy campaigns addressing human trafficking and exploitation.
Our current advocacy priorities include:
At World Without Exploitation, we are dedicated to creating a future where sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation is eradicated and survivors are supported with dignity and justice. Our legislative priorities are focused on advancing policies that protect individuals from exploitation and ensure comprehensive, survivor-centered care. These initiatives are key to building a world free from trafficking, and include:
Together, these legislative priorities aim to create a legislative framework that prioritizes prevention, survivor support, and accountability for those who perpetrate exploitation. We believe that by aligning laws with the lived experiences of survivors, we can create lasting change and move toward a world without exploitation.
