The conditions around large, commercial events, such as the demographics of visitors, and a celebratory atmosphere occurring within a concentrated geographic area, create an increased demand for purchasing sex.

Help us stop sex trafficking associated with large events by tackling the demand. See more about NCOSE’s #TackleDemand campaign here.
