Working in this field End Slavery Now gets updates from people who are starting their own campaigns to raise awareness about trafficking. It is so exciting for us to see so many people want to volunteer their time and efforts for this cause. One of the most common requests and updates I get are for documentaries to raise awareness about sex trafficking.

I know these documentaries are being made for the right reasons but I also feel that people do not know how many of these documentaries already exist. Do a simple search for sex trafficking on Vimeo and you will see tons of results of films that have already been produced. The awareness needle has been raised significantly and what we need to do now is act on our awareness. I believe the money used to make these documentaries could be spent opening or supporting aftercare shelters in the area people live in.

If you are thinking of producing a documentary on sex trafficking please consider showing one of the ones below instead!

These are some of the best documentaries on sex trafficking I have seen. They cover all areas of the world.

WARNING: All of these documentaries / films contain graphic images or stories of rape and sexual assault.
