Hollywood stars Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher recently launched an interactive online campaign that aims to raise awareness about child sex slavery, a global industry which earns up to $39 billion a year.
The campaign also aims to educate people about child sex slavery in the U.S. through the message "Real men don't buy girls."
Comedian and producer Ashton Kutcher said in a statement, "Child sex slavery is a difficult issue to think about, which makes it all the more important that we do. Real Men do not ever buy children for sex. Period."
"People don't realize child sex slavery is a serious problem in the United States. Young girls are victimized in the commercial sex industry every day. No 13-year-old girl chooses to be exploited for sex," Demi Moore adds.
As part of the campaign, Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA) will release a number of short interactive videos starring Justin Timberlake, Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx, Jason Mraz, Ashton Kutcher, Drake, Adrian Peterson and Isaiah Mustafa, among others.
Everyone can also join the campaign and create their own videos by logging on to www.facebook.com/dnafoundation and clicking on the Real Men application tab, which will allow guests to insert their own photo in the celebrity video. These videos will then be viewed at www.demiandashton.org/realmen.
Another part of the campaign is DNA's partnership with Threadless and Steven Alan, to create t-shirts around the concept of freedom. Over 200 artists have submitted their designs and two were selected as winners will be available through Threadless.com and Stevenalan.com.
