International Day of No Prostitution (IDNP) is observed worldwide every October 5. This awareness day was first held in 2002 in some localities in the United States and Australia as a means of opposing prostitution. Events organized for IDNP include candlelight vigils, panel discussions, rallies, and pickets, which aim to highlight issues related to human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. The day is primarily supported by anti-prostitution feminists, who view prostitution as a form of male dominance and exploitation of women. Organizations such as the University of the Philippines Institute of Human Rights and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women are involved in promoting the observance. It is important to note that not all feminists share the same views on prostitution, with some advocating for the rights of women to engage in sex work if they choose, and emphasizing support for sex worker activism against abuse.
