Hunt Alternatives Fund

Most public and private efforts to eradicate sex trafficking focus on rescuing and rehabilitating victims, and, to some extent, prosecuting perpetrators and members of trafficking syndicates. Demand Abolition is committed to eradicating the illegal commercial sex industry in the U.S. by combating the demand for purchased sex by identifying and advocating for demand-reduction policies and practices that are pragmatic, effective, and sustainable. To provide the baseline understanding of the purchased sex problem’s scope that is essential to long-term success, Demand Abolition is undertaking a multi-year, multi-stakeholder strategy that begins with formulation of quantitative research design and instrumentation; and a pilot study of that instrument.
