UK: Prostitution Reform: Stamp Out Sexual Slavery

Captive Daughters has just learned of a new UK-based website Prostitutionreform.co.uk that is seeking to educate the public, as well as politicians, about how sex trafficking feeds prostitution, especially in the UK.

The site is also gathering signatures for a petition that aims to reform sex supply laws, focusing on the demand side, or the customer.

From their website:

Recent articles in the Times and the BBC have suggested that the use of prostitutes in the UK has doubled over the last ten years. At the same time, the numbers of women being trafficked from Eastern Europe, Africa and the Far East and being held in sexual slavery in the UK has dramatically increased. Next year marks the 200th anniversary of the enactment of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act 1807. We believe it is time for the UK government to act in order to stamp out sexual slavery.

This website aims to explain why the UK’s current prostitution laws have contributed to the increase in “punters” and the increase in trafficked women and why the laws must be changed to reverse this devastating development.
