❌ Advises police to use the ideological term ‘sex work’ ❌ Undermines enforcement against sexual exploitation ❌ Provides scant detail on targeting sex buyers Forces should look to @PoliceScotland's best practice, which responds to prostitution as violence against women. (2/2)

Our Chair has written to the Minister for Policing & Crime @LabourSJ to express @APPG_CSE's serious concerns about the current policing approach to commercial sexual exploitation in England & Wales. Guidance by @PoliceChiefs: ❌ Normalises sexual exploitation as ‘work’ (1/2)

Pimping websites "move sexual exploitation off the street and into locations like flats and hotels where outreach is harder and coercion of vulnerable women can thrive." @CarolineVoaden today urged Ministers to act against these facilitators of sex trafficking 👏👏

Pimping websites are used by sex traffickers to advertise victims. @Ofcom guidance for these sites on implementing the Online Safety Act is totally inadequate and deeply harmful. Our Chair @ToniaAntoniazzi has written to CEO Dame Melanie Dawes requesting urgent changes. 1/2

Great to see the Government introduce a ban on strangulation content in pornography. We first made this argument back in the Online Safety Bill and @BertinGabby made it one of her Review’s recommendations. Huge thanks to @APPG_CSE @UK_Feminista @barnardos

Guidance by @Ofcom: ❌ allows high-risk practices on websites that enable sex trafficking, like third parties advertising multiple women for prostitution ❌ normalises commercial sexual exploitation as "sex work" Concerns raised by MPs have been repeatedly ignored by @Ofcom. 2/2

Today @JoaniReid led a powerful debate in Parliament on the role of pornography, prostitution and ‘camming’ websites in violence against women. With support & interventions from MPs inc @kittysull1 @tracygilbert72 @Jess4Lowestoft @CarolineVoaden @SharonHodgsonMP @steveyemm 🙏

The UK's anti-slavery commissioner has launched an inquiry into adult and sex work websites, over the exploitation of trafficked and vulnerable women. 🔗 https://t.co/owxEG6z3Sd

Good to speak to Sky news about the harms caused by pimping websites @APPG_CSE

.@UKAntiSlavery has launched an investigation into pimping websites. This follows 50+ MPs backing @ToniaAntoniazzi's amendment to outlaw the sites. @DianaJohnsonMP @YvetteCooperMP: put traffickers out of business by closing these online mega-brothels. https://t.co/YD36E0XTiY

Very proud of the cross-party work we’re doing to address this huge problem.

Extremely proud to be apart of this APPG. Commercial sexual exploitation is happening in our communities on an industrial level, fuelled by social media and online platforms.

So proud of @APPG_CSE for their battle against sexual exploitation. A real honour to be vice-chair. Some huge achievements here. Great video. But much to do.

I’m so proud of the work that our cross party group of MPs and Peers has achieved this year. I look forward to making continued progress to protect women and girls.

Commercial sexual exploitation is taking place on an industrial scale @APPG_CSE members are leading calls for Government action 📺 As Parliament's summer break approaches, check out what we've been doing to secure change 👇 @DianaJohnsonMP @YvetteCooperMP @ToniaAntoniazzi

Last week @APPG_CSE hosted a discussion on how policy makers should respond to sexual exploitation via 'camming' websites. Our thanks to participants @CEASEorgUK, Dr Elly Hanson & @TalitaSverige from Sweden - where this exploitation is now outlawed 👇 https://t.co/4PWBCr6PAq

Today @APPG_CSE was pleased to hear from @AshReganMSP on her #Unbuyable Bill in @ScotParl The bill would shift the burden of criminality off victims of sexual exploitation & onto perpetrators, driving down demand for trafficking 👏 @tracygilbert72 @katrinamurray71 @kittysull1
