Arizona's Eliminate Prostitution Crusader Joins Trump as "human rights ambassador"
Arizona's Eliminate Prostitution Crusader Joins Trump as "human rights ambassador"
"You can't have forced or underage prostitution if there's no prostitution at all, the thinking goes. To this end, they advocate tougher sentences for sex buyers, more police stings targeted at prostitution customers, and changes to federal policy that would let websites be held liable for criminal content posted by third parties.
"Cindy McCain and the (McCain) Institute have adopted supreme faith in the "end demand" strategy, where treating ordinary prostitution as severely under the law as sexual abuse and exploitation will supposedly put an end to the sex trade altogether." - Reason.com article (more below).
She is one of the biggest organizers of “save the prostitute” and "reduce demand" focus in Arizona and the new laws that shut down most of the local Phoenix boards after assisting or promoting private consenting adult sex workers were made a crime.
Cindy McCain was active with the ASU professor in the Project Rose - go to Bethany Bible Church and admit you are a victim or go to jail.
Reason.com Highlights on Mrs. McCain June 20, 2017
She would almost certainly concentrate on sex trafficking, which has been the main focus of her recent advocacy—and on which she has a track record of spreading misinformation, promoting policies that make prostitution more dangerous.
Housed within the Arizona State University (ASU) system, the McCain Institute was launched in 2012 with $8.7 million left over from the McCain/Palin presidential campaign fund.
HARNESSING HUMAN-TRAFFICKING FEARS FOR MEDIA COVERAGE
Harnessing a pop panic like America's "sex trafficking epidemic" has allowed her and other McCain Institute staff to earn ample media attention, all while spreading "facts" that are at best unsupported by evidence and often at total odds with it.
The Institute routinely cites the bogus statistic that the average sex trafficking victims are 12 to 14 years old, a claim which all empirical evidence we have defies and one that's been regularly debunked in the mainstream media for several years. It refers to pornography as a "public health crisis."
Swanee Hunt, Human Trafficking Advisory Council member, describes her work as "leading a national action plan to stem the rise in prostituted sex through a market model that addresses not the supply but the demand, using changes to legislation and law enforcement practice as levers for change."
White House sources have portrayed the move as being brokered by Ivanka Trump, who has recently taken an interest in "modern slavery" issues.
