02 Activities

What the charity does

CEASE UK's activities are all centred on educating the general public and decision makers about sexual exploitation: in particular, the links between different forms, and how the commercial sex industry, hypersexualisation and the underlying cultural norms drive sexual abuse and exacerbate vulnerability.
