PAPS fights against sexual exploitation by supporting victims of sexual exploitation and digital sexual violence.

PAPS is committed to the mission of "Putting an End to Sexual Exploitation".
Sexual exploitation is the violation of one's own sexual consent and deprivation of control for the benefit of others.
Specifically, it includes sexual voyeurism and dissemination, revenge pornography, online grooming, sextortion (sexual blackmail), and digital sexual violence such as photogravure and nudity against the will. Others refer to problems related to the adult video (AV) industry and problems related to the sex industry.
The reality of sexual exploitation as revealed by the consultations we receive at PAPS.
We continue to investigate this issue, communicate it to society at large, and work to seek solutions to social problems.

Our Mission

We are committed to three missions to address the social issues of
"digital sexual violence" and "sexual exploitation."

Continue supporting

PAPS conducts outreach and consultation support activities in various locations where sexual exploitation occurs, such as on the streets of Tokyo and online. Outreach involves finding people caught up in sexual exploitation, providing them with the necessary information, medical support, assistance with daily life, and support for them to regain control on their own.

The youngest woman we reached out to was 10 years old, and we were able to intervene immediately when she was asked to appear in a pornographic video. We continue to do street outreach more than 100 days a year.

PAPS continues to work to help victims of digital sexual violence and exploitation regain control by providing outreach, consultation support, and requesting the removal of sexual images that have been distributed against their will.

Change laws and systems

Insufficient legal frameworks to curb digital sexual violence and sexual exploitation mean that sexual exploitation cannot be effectively tackled and trust in the legal system is eroded.

Sexual exploitation also exacerbates gender and social inequalities, as well as contributing to sexual violence and exploitation of the most vulnerable in society.

If the current situation of "a system where sex can be bought" continues, the human rights of people who are forced to sell sex will be violated and they will not be protected from social discrimination. As a result, they will be deprived of employment opportunities, medical care, and opportunities to participate in society.

Furthermore, treating women as sexual commodities not only undermines women's social status and dignity, but also serves as a factor in condoning the sexual exploitation of children (child prostitution and child pornography).

Changing the culture

The culture of "sex can be bought" is pervasive in Japanese society. For victims of digital sexual violence and sexual exploitation, even if it is a crime, it is treated as their own fault, and they are deprived of the power to report the damage. On the other hand, the risk of arrest for perpetrators is low, and the number of new entrants increases, leading to rampant sexual exploitation.

In addition, sexual exploitation of women and children is commonplace around the world, and this problem is maintained and further strengthened by the huge profits generated by digital sexual violence and sexual exploitation. Changing this situation is not easy.

If everyone stops "buying sex" from today, we can end sexual exploitation in an instant. The root cause of sexual exploitation is the demand to "buy sex." If we just stop buying sex, we can solve the problem of sexual exploitation from that day on.

Through your support, we bring recovery to those caught up in sexual exploitation.
Your support will go a long way in solving the problem of sexual exploitation.

Behind the Scenes: The Technology That Powers ProtectionAI

Thank you, as always, for supporting PAPS and its work. This time, we would like to share a look behind the scenes at the technology behind ProtectionAI, a system PAPS is developing. To keep searching for images of victims, we must continuously collect enormous numbers of images and videos from the internet, detect faces, and match them—without interruption. This part of our work is rarely visible, but keeping ProtectionAI running actually depends on many layers of technical

Toward Revising the Anti-Prostitution Act: What PAPS Told the Ministry of Justice Study Group

Thank you, as always, for supporting PAPS and its work.

The study group was established for the national government to review Japan's current laws and regulations concerning prostitution. In this newsletter, we report to our supporters on wha

How AI Is Changing Support for Victims of Sexual Image Abuse

Once an image spreads on the internet, finding it again is extremely difficult. Images end up on social media, message boards, overseas sites, and video sites—there is a limit to how much can be done by human hands alone. Since 2019, with a grant from the Mitsubishi Foundation, PAPS has researched and developed countermeasures using machine learning, and since fiscal 2022 we have worked in earnest on an AI-powered support system.
