It’s happening here. And you can stop it.

From back alleys to Backpage.com, suburbs to cyber sites, human beings—especially women and girls—are bought and sold for sex. No matter the medium, there’s one constant—rampant demand.

Demand Abolition is eradicating the illegal commercial sex industry in the US—and, by extension, the world—by combating the demand for purchased sex. The most efficient approach to ending sexual exploitation is targeting sex buyers: when they stop buying, the entire system of degradation collapses.

Survivor Activist Rebecca Bender Publishes New Book

Posted by on January 30, 2020 in Updates

Demand Abolition is excited to announce Rebecca Bender’s book In Pursuit of Love is now available for purchase. She has been a strong supporter of demand reduction, and we are thrilled to support her newest publication.

The book describes her remarkable story of escape from human trafficking and her decision to go back to the darkest places she had known—assisting FBI, VICE, and law enforcement across the country in some of their most difficult cases—to help other women find freedom.

Through her own gripping story, Rebecca teaches us what trafficking in America looks like—and what we can do about it. In Pursuit of Love will give you the confidence to pursue your own purpose and take you on a journey to places you never thought possible.

Our founder, Swanee Hunt, wrote, “Rebecca’s riveting story takes us through a dark world of exploitation to redemption. She inspires us to believe in deliverance—for others and for ourselves.”

Rebecca Bender is the CEO & Founder of the Rebecca Bender Initiative and a Survivor Leader.
