Turn Off the Red Light Campaign
The Turn Off the Red Light campaign aims to raise public awareness about the harm of prostitution and sex trafficking and to lobby the Government to introduce legislation to end the exploitation of women, men and children in the sex industry. The IFN is part of a broad alliance of organisations who support this aim. We believe that the best way to combat sex trafficking and prostitution is to tackle the demand for paid sex by criminalising the purchase of sex.
