Sexual exploitation violates the human rights of anyone subjected to it, whether female or male, adult or child, Northern or Southern. Criminalize the men who buy women and children and anyone who promotes sexual exploitation, particularly pimps and procurers. Reject State policies and practices that channel women into conditions of sexual exploitation. Provide education and employment opportunities that enhance women's worth and status, thereby diminishing the necessity for the women to turn to prostitution. It is a fundamental right to be free of sexual exploitation in all its forms.
Women have the right to sexual integrity and autonomy.
The Coalition Against Trafficking in Women works to end all forms of sexual exploitation and enact our vision in the following ways. We bring international attention to all forms of sexual exploitation, including prostitution, pornography, sex tourism, and bride trafficking We work with national and international policy-makers, women's rights and human rights advocates, and the United Nations to promote the fundamental human right of all women to be free from sexual exploitation. We spearheaded the creation of a new United Nation Convention Against Sexual Exploitation and now seek governmental and non-governmental endorsement for establishing it as international legislation. We testify before national legislative bodies, United Nations committees, commissions and the General Assembly . We have Category II Consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
