The fight against online sex trafficking is a fight against one of the most brutal forms of violence against women and girls and widespread international criminal activities. Since more than 50% of sex trafficking
now takes place online, and since this part of the Internet will continue to increase, the global community must develop and implement more effective policies to combat internet sex trafficking and the criminal
organizations behind it. That situation can be reversed by increasing the awareness and understanding of the nature and prevalence of online sex trafficking and of the harm it engenders, and by enlisting the
engagement of all sectors of society.

Le 6 avril 2016, la loi 2016-444 « visant à renforcer la lutte contre le système prostitutionnel et à accompagner les personnes prostituées » était adoptée par la France. Ainsi, la France réaffirme clairement sa volonté abolitionniste et pose des principes forts : la prostitution est une violence faite aux femmes, l’exploitation des plus vulnérables de nos sociétés, un système à abolir.
Deux ans plus tard, où en est-on ? Comment la loi est-elle appliquée ? Quels sont ses résultats ? Quels sont les obstacles rencontrés ? Peut-on faire un premier bilan d'une loi qui ambitionne de changer en profondeur le regard porté sur la prostitution ?
