The need to reduce ‘demand’ for trafficked persons is widely mentioned in the anti-trafficking sector but few have looked at ‘demand’ critically or substantively. Some ‘demand’-based approaches have been heavily critiqued, such as the idea that eliminating sex workers’ clients (or the ‘demand’ for commercial sex) through incarceration or stigmatisation will reduce trafficking.

The Advisory Group wrote to the main authors of an article published in the Lancet (Volume 377, June 2011), entitled 'Towards an improved investment approach for an effective response to HIV/AIDS' to raise some concerns, including:
- The proposed flat-lining and under-resourcing of funding for HIV programming in the context of sex work
- The apparent inclusion in HIV programming of both sex workers and their clients
- The assumptions within the report appearing to come from UNGASS reporting data, regarding the reach of current HIV programming to sex workers
- The low level of funding for condom promotion seems insufficient to meet the needs of key populations
