With sex trafficking at the forefront of many political conversations, misconceptions about the nature of demand, profit, and power often surround public perception of sexual exploitation and the commercial sex trade. Drawing on survivor experiences and the recently released report that examines purchasers of commercial sex, “Buyers Unmasked,” this Athenaeum panel explores the demographics that are overrepresented in the sex trade. Yazmin Vafa, director of Rights4Girls, and survivor-advocate Cristian Eduardo shine a light on these important issues, helping answer the question: Who fuels the sex trade and at what cost?
