Trafficking Free, NYC!

In our ongoing campaign, aimed at ending newspapers and magazines’ reliance on advertisement revenue from illegal massage parlors and brothels, we are asking local publications to stop doing business with the organized commercial sex industry by signing an anti-trafficking pledge- Trafficking Free, NYC!

The pledge rewards publications that have made a policy not to advertise brothels. Traffickers supply the local brothel market to meet demand for commercial sex. Turn through the pages of your neighborhood papers and let us know whether or not they are “trafficking free.” Many major publications, like New York Magazine, have already signed on but there are dozens of local newspapers. We need to increase our reach across the five boroughs and to more ethnic papers.
Pick them up. If they have sketchy ads for massage parlors, escort services or classified ads, call them and tell them you won’t read it anymore- better, call an advertiser and call us!

Ultimately we’re asking publishers to do basic due diligence and use common sense. If someone calls asking for a classified ad that reads ‘Russian Girls, Young, 24/7,’ what’s there to think about? Take the contact information and call the NYPD.

Call to Action  

Help us sign El Diario La Prensa to sign on to the Trafficking Free pledge. NOW-NYC has repeatedly pleaded with El Diario to remove the brazen ads that make it easy to traffic women in New York City. Contact El Diario La Prensa today.
