UK minister says more should be done to tackle the demand which drives sex trafficking.

UK family justice minister Harriet Harman has said that, whilst the UK government is making progress in the fight against human trafficking, more needs to be done to reduce demand for prostitutes, if victims are to be protected. Speaking at the women’s conference of the UK Trades Union Congress, she said;
“It is important that the UK will soon sign the Council of Europe Convention on human trafficking, and that we have set up the UK Human Trafficking Centre in Sheffield. We must continue to provide advice and support for the victims of this vile trade. We need to do more than just talk about human trafficking in meetings and sign conventions - important though they are - we’ve got to ensure that the traffickers and the sex abusers are arrested and brought before the courts.”
