Chief Police Officers: Victims Of Human Trafficking

Foreign Nationals Dept: A report by the Association of Chief Police Officers into the sexual exploitation of foreign nationals found that 17,000 of the 30,000 women who worked in brothels or other similar premises were migrants. Of these, 2,600 were deemed to have been trafficked, with 2,200 originally from Asia, mainly China. A further 9,600 women were considered to be vulnerable and who might be further victims of trafficking, according to Vancouver Sun. "It provides us with a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of how migrant women are involved in prostitution -- how they are influenced, controlled, coerced, exploited and trafficked," said a police official and almost 10 per cent of women working in brothels in England and Wales are migrants who are victims of human trafficking and come mainly from Asia, police said on Wednesday. The "Setting the Record" report was the result of a year-long study titled Project Acumen, commissioned by ACPO to discover the true extent of trafficking in "off-street prostitution." As reported in the news.
