End Prostitution Now
End Prostitution Now is a campaign led by Glasgow City Council that aims to raise awareness of the harm caused through prostitution and to put the focus on the buyers of sex who have in the past been invisible from public debate. The campaign uses a series of thought provoking posters to challenge the demand for prostitution and challenge attitudes towards buying sex.
Councillor Jim Coleman said: “Prostitution is an appalling form of human exploitation. It blights the lives of those involved, their families and the communities where this awful trade takes place. Tackling demand is the key to this issue. It is demand which fuels the vicious cycle of sexual exploitation that supplies vulnerable people in to the sex industry.”
MSP Trish Godman added: “Every shred of evidence indicates that prostitution is inherently harmful. It is incredible that something which so clearly breaches an individual’s right to dignity, equality, respect and physical and mental well-being has gone unhindered for so long.”
