The National Center on Sexual Exploitation works for a world free from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation, including sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual abuse, sexual violence, pornography, and more. The Annual Dirty Dozen List is a highly successful tool to this end, already changing culture with more than 50 policy changes at major corporations. The Dirty Dozen List names and shames twelve mainstream entities who contribute significantly to profiting, facilitating, or normalizing the web of sexual exploitation and abuse.
The businesses and entities named to this list are among the nation’s worst for masquerading as respectable institutions while facilitating access to, or pandering and profiting directly from, sexual exploitation. Others push policy agendas that normalize or facilitate egregious forms of sexual exploitation. This list ensures that their participation and collusion with various aspects of the sex trade becomes public knowledge, and equips concerned citizens with information and tools to hold them accountable.
