UK Government To Take Trafficking More Seriously

UK House of Commons

A select committee report released today insists that the UK Government, Judges and Police begin to take Trafficking in Persons more seriously:

“[law] enforcement is patchy, prosecution rates are low and there is little protection for victims. What we have is in effect a resurgence of a type of slave trade, yet we have no good information on the scale of the problem”
