How Natural Disasters Fuel Human Sex Trafficking Across the Globe via @FightTheNewDrug fightthenewdrug.org/natural-disast…
“A rise in sexual exploitation following a natural disaster is so common that response teams/volunteers—as part of disaster relief training—are encouraged to recognize signs of assault, rape, and trafficking” #coronavirus #exploitation
“Predators prey on vulnerability, and women and children are likely the most vulnerable victims of a natural disaster, and furthermore, the most at risk for sexual violence following a disaster.”
Which brings us to @Pornhub
#Pornhub mega-pimps have cashed in on the #coronavirus pandemic, offering “free membership” to its video sharing platform.

.@Pornhub is the subject of a 700,000+ strong petition for hosting footage of trafficked women and child sexual assault #ShutDownPornhub #TraffickingHub

And some very brave young women have come forward to share how @Pornhub compounded the trauma of sexual assault perpetrated against them when they were children by hosting and distributing the footage.

Despite these crimes against women and girls media persists promoting @Pornhub’s #coronavirus publicity stunt. They are complicit in violating women and girls human rights.
How can those working in media go from #metoo to #sowhat ? Where are your ethics? Where is your empathy?
Why does media so willingly promote #pornhub’s #coronavirus publicity stunt? Why are they repeating @Pornhub’s narrative of altruism and “being part of a global community?
“A rise in sexual exploitation following a natural disaster is so common” response workers are trained to recognise signs.
The #coronavirus pandemic is no different. The evidence of sexual exploitation is all around us, most notably in plain sight, on #Pornhub
The #PornPandemic puts women and girls in danger.
Media - stop promoting footage of the most traumatic moments of women & girls lives as entertainment for bored men during a global crisis.
Don’t promote #Pornhub, bring them to justice.
