In order to end human traf­fick­ing, it is essen­tial that we tar­get demand, rather than focus­ing pure­ly on sup­ply-side mea­sures. Whilst the sta­tus quo is to employ sup­ply-side mea­sures, these can only ever be reac­tive. Where­as, demand-side mea­sures are proac­tive in the pre­ven­tion of human traf­fick­ing, as demand is a root cause of traf­fick­ing and there­fore must be pur­sued in the fight to end this affront to human rights and dignity.
