Our Chair @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social has written to Minister for Policing & Crime @sarahjonesmp.bsky.social to express serious concerns about the current policing approach to commercial sexual exploitation in England & Wales. Guidance by the NPCC: ❌ Normalises sexual exploitation as ‘work’ (1/2)

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

Commercial sexual exploitation is taking place on an industrial scale @appg-cse.bsky.social members are leading calls for Government action 📺 As Parliament's summer break approaches, check out what we've been doing to secure change 👇

Last week we hosted a discussion in Parliament on how policy makers should respond to sexual exploitation via 'camming' websites. Our thanks to participants CEASE, Dr Elly Hanson & Talita in Sweden - where this exploitation is now outlawed 👇 www.euractiv.com/section/tech...

"Campaigners say ordering a woman to be sexually exploited has become as straightforward as ordering a takeaway online" 📰 'UK politicians propose ban on pimping websites' @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Shocking investigation by Sky News uncovers thousands of indicators of trafficking on two of UK's biggest websites advertising prostitution 👉 This is why @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social MP's parliamentary proposal to outlaw pimping websites is so urgent news.sky.com/story/orderi...

50+ MPs have backed @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social's vital amendments to bust the business model of sex trafficking. ⛓️ Day in, day out, women are being sexually exploited across the UK - driven by demand from sex buyers & pimping websites that enjoy impunity.

This week we hosted a vital discussion in Parliament with leading charities delivering best practice support & exiting services for women experiencing commercial sexual exploitation. Thank you to Kairos WWT, Nia, Women@thewell, FiLiA & Women's Support Project 👏

Our children are growing up on violent, misogynistic, and paedophilic-adjacent pornography online. That's why I've tabled amendments to the Crime & Policing Bill to ensure parity between offline and online pornography regulation. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

❌ Victims of sexual exploitation can face sanctions for soliciting, making it harder to seek help and rebuild their lives. 🖊️ Over 50 MPs have now signed @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social's amendment to the Crime & Policing Bill to end this.

❌ Legal duties in the Online Safety Act to tackle illegal content do not apply to all pornography websites. 🖊️ 50 MPs have now signed @jessasatomp.bsky.social's amendment to the Crime & Policing Bill to fix this.

💻 Online pornography is subject to much weaker safeguards than offline pornography. The result: violence against women is commonplace in online pornography. 🖊️ 50 MPs have now signed Jess Asato MP's amendment to the Crime & Policing Bill to stop this. (1/2)

👏 Thank you to the 50+ MPs who have called on Government to combat commercial sexual exploitation through the Crime & Policing Bill. ❌ Our laws to deter demand, prosecute perpetrators and support victims are not fit for purpose. It's time for change.

"Online pornographers have been a law unto themselves, profiting from grossly misogynistic and violent pornography with impunity." Read our Chair @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social's statement on today's publication of the Pornography Review 👇

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" 📺 Watch @appg-cse.bsky.social's Vice Chair question the Gov on demand for sexual exploitation 👇

Pimping websites "make it as easy to order a woman to exploit as it is to order a takeaway." Today @tracygilbertmp.bsky.social powerfully called on @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social @damedianajohnson.bsky.social to update anti-pimping legislation to outlaw pimping websites 👏

📺 Watch @carolynharris.bsky.social question the Government on tackling demand today from 2.30pm 👉 parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

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. 🗓️ 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.
