Overview

• The III International Congress on Human Trafficking, organized by Asociación Betania, drew Queen Letizia and Equality Minister Ana Redondo as experts linked pornography, social media and prostitution to exploitation.
• Speakers called for abolishing prostitution and pressed for concrete action after years of awareness, urging society-wide rejection of sexual exploitation.
• Participants urged that the abolitionist bill the government is reported to be preparing for this autumn explicitly regulate digital platforms that facilitate recruitment and demand, including subscription sites.
• Presenters described social networks as “supermarkets of prostitution,” warning that attention economies funnel girls toward monetized sexual content and in some cases into prostitution through platforms like OnlyFans.
• A sexologist cited widespread adolescent pornography exposure—often 1,000 to 5,000 hours before age 20—and warned of addictive patterns that can escalate demand, while justice officials called for procedures that prevent revictimization, such as secure settings and videoconference testimony.
