We’re working to create a world where no person is bought, sold, or exploited. Read more about our latest efforts here.
World Without Exploitation applauds the State of Maine for passing the first of its kind partial decriminalization legislation in the United States. LD 1435, championed by Representative Lois Galgay-Reckitt, ensures that sex trade survivors are not criminalized for their own exploitation. The bill also makes sure that exploiters, including sex buyers, are still held accountable for the devastating harm they cause.
Al crear un mundo libre de explotación, entendemos que la conciencia es la mejor forma de prevención. Para las personas que no hablan inglés, el idioma puede ser una barrera para acceder a los recursos y, por lo tanto, aumentar su vulnerabilidad a ser explotados, especialmente cuando se combina con otros factores socioeconómicos.

Join World Without Exploitation on Wednesday, July 19th, 2023 from 9:30am to 4:00pm for our 6th Annual Youth Summit, Power On. Youth advocates, experts, and survivor leaders will discuss their experiences and expertise on curated main-stage panels and interactive workshops. This free event is open to youth ages 15-28 who want to learn and take action to end human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
During our webinar last month, Sex Trade 101: Prostitution & Sex Trafficking, we discussed the realities of the sex trade and its inextricable link to sex trafficking. This month's webinar will be the second in our Sex Trade series focusing on the physical and mental effects that are endured by those in the sex trade as a result of the violence perpetrated by sex buyers.
Ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation requires a foundational understanding of the sex trade. By focusing on power dynamics, the demand for paid sex and the overrepresentation of marginalized communities, this month's webinar will introduce young people to the realities of the sex trade.
