Campaign Overview

UNANIMA believes in preventing human trafficking by eliminating demand. In the case of women and children, the most demanded form of human trafficking is sex trafficking. Demand, however, does not simply begin with the desires of the “consumers” of sex trafficking. It begins with the commodification and exploitation of women and some men everywhere: advertisements, internet, television shows, etc. The extent to which the demand for sex has been normalized and is even increasing in our societies is shown clearly in the socio-cultural, economic, and political connections between pornography, prostitution, and sex trafficking. Join us in learning more about the drivers of demand and ways to take action.

Phase 1 of the campaign seeks to educate and raise awareness about demand. From 2007 to 2009, UNANIMA developed and distributed a series of resources in four languages to present information on the issue and campaign. Phase 1 materials are available for download below.

Phase 2 of the campaign focuses on persons vulnerable to and/or likely to abuse trafficked persons. In 2010, UNANIMA held a workshop for English-speaking youth from around the world to develop an approach for campaigning and identify effective tools.
