What Men Can Do

Like it or not, men are a big part of the problem. If there wasn’t a demand for sexual exploitation in our communities, there wouldn’t be women trafficked into the brothels.  UK Figures now suggest that 1 in 10 men will pay for sex

Who Pays for Sex?

One in 10 men has used a prostitute

 

The men paying for sex are not ‘dead-beats’. They are, on average, in their 30’s, married and have a mortgage. Does that sound like you or someone you know?

 

We believe that sex with a trafficked woman is rape. If you are someone that uses women in brothels for sex in Croydon, you could be convicted of rape and spend time in prison. But aside from that, try to think about the human being that you are paying to exploit.  You may have chosen her, but she definitely didn’t choose you. Trafficked women and girls are lured from their homes, often in poorer countries, with the promise of a better life. They are kept as slaves, many are not allowed to leave their brothel prisons and are intimidated with violence and fear. The people that traffick them see them not as women and human beings, but as an object to exploit time and again.
