Today in Parliament @carolynharris.bsky.social highlighted "websites allowing men to rate and review the women for whom they're paying for sex, including admissions of trafficking, underage sex and rape"

Without demand from men who pay for sex, there would be no 'supply' of women to be abused in the prostitution and sex trafficking trade.

πŸ—“οΈ On Monday 24 Feb our Vice Chair @carolynharris.bsky.social will ask the Government during Home Office Qs what action it is taking to reduce demand.
