Our society is currently seeing the normalization of pedophilia, pornography, and the buying and selling of people, ie. the sex trade. These issues are often exacerbated by government agencies, medical associations, and corporations easing their own conscience or facilitating behaviors that benefit them.
Despite its flaws, our legal and political system can play a pivotal role in shaping public perception and providing a framework for activists and law enforcers to protect our children and carry out justice.
In addition, it's crucial in countering and reversing disturbing trends like the sexualization of children, objectification of people, and protection of predators.
The people and projects featured below are dedicated to abolishing exploitation, trafficking, and slavery, to foment a world where such atrocities are no longer tolerated. Their work serves as a testament to the power of committed action in driving significant societal change.
The goal is to get governments to make our children a priority. Legislation often fails to pass because it’s getting snuck into omnibus bills that are struck down for other reasons like pork barreling.
Another principle goals is to address the still overhanded judicial action against the exploited. Still considered “prostitutes” involved in “pandering”, victims are arrested, charged with crimes, serve time, and are stuck with criminal records.
The EARN IT Act (S. 3538) is a proposed legislation first introduced in 2020 in the United States Congress. It aims to amend Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934, which allows operators of websites to remove user-posted content that they deem inappropriate, and provides them with immunity from civil lawsuits related to such posting. Section 230 is the only surviving portion of the Communications Decency Act, passed in 1996.
The END Network Abuse Act is a bipartisan bill that aims to crack down on the misuse of DoD computers, facilities, and equipment to access and trade child pornography. The bill would upgrade the training and technical capacity of military criminal investigative organizations. It would also require the Pentagon to enter into agreements with groups including law enforcement, child protection services, social services, and trauma-informed healthcare providers to cut down or halt the spread and impact of these images on DOD networks.
The PROTECT Act of 2003 is a United States law with the stated intent of preventing child abuse as well as investigating and prosecuting violent crimes against children. "PROTECT" is a backronym that stands for "Prosecutorial Remedies and Other Tools to End the Exploitation of Children Today". The PROTECT Act incorporates the Truth in Domain Names Act (TDNA) of 2003 (initially two separate bills, submitted by Senator Orrin Hatch and Congressman Mike Pence), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 2252(B)(b).
Priorities include addressing Labor Trafficking in Migrant and Refugee Communities, Pornography Across International Lines, and Protection of Minors being Sex Trafficked.
