Prostitution Research & Education
A 30 year old nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the global sex trade through innovative research, education, and strategic policy advocacy.
Our mission is to abolish the institution of prostitution and replace it with real, sustainable alternatives—comprehensive healthcare, emotional support, and pathways to freedom for those affected. We work in collaboration with survivors, scholars, policymakers, and the public to expose and remedy the root causes of prostitution: the sexist assumption that men are entitled to buy women for sexual use, racist and colonial inequality, and economic inequality.
Each of the 14 libraries and 2 blogs on this website have resources that we have collected over the past 25 years. Some are foundational articles about prostitution, trafficking and pornography, some are cutting-edge new testimony and research. Each library has many entries.
