The proposed Demand Abolition project will be implemented in King county in the State of
Washington. The population o, King County is 2,007,440, which includes the CitY of Seattle,
population 63a,535.' King County encompasses 39 police agencies, which serve
municipalities includinS Seattle, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Bellevue as well as the

unincorporated areas of King Counly.

King County (shown in the inset above) i5 part of known
domestic and Slobal sex trafficking circuits abetted through the hiShway system, particularly
the l-5 corridor which runs from Canada to Mexico, and lnternet Trafficking.t Human
trafticking has been confirmed in 18 counties in Walhinglon and is deeply tied to the issue of

prostitution in our region.3
King County has many factors in place that make it an ideal location to pilot and test
successful demand interventions:

The Organization for Prostitution SurvivorJ is survivor led and survivor informed at all levels oi
the orSanization. OPS is unique as a survivor led organization because male accountability and
demand-reduction are part of the organiaationalstructure and core programming
Thus, oPS will provide survivor leadership for this project. Two leaders from OPS will serve on
the core team and facilitate feedback from survlvors throu8h OPS support groups and public
forums. other statf and volunteers act as allies, recognizing and upholdinB survivor5'
perspectives and experiences to guide OPS' initiatives, programming, and voice in the
community. A Eoard Member and Director of Survivor Services, both of whom are survivors ot
prostitution, recently completed a week-long t13ining on Survivor Leadership held by the Girls
Education and MentorinB Service {GEMS} in New York. The principles of the survivor
empowerment leadership model have been part of OPs organizational structure, and the
training offered new insights and opportunities to Erow this model.
The ooportunitv for OPS to oartner with the KCPAO is unorecedented. This represents true
survivor leadership, combined with experlise in male accountabilitY, partnered with a key
criminaljustice institution. This is the best possible combination of efforts coming together to
reduce demand for commercial sex in our locality.
