Trafficking

[Empirical]

An article in the Guardian today which makes disturbing reading. I've no reason to doubt the veracity of the stories; what is really sad and unsettling is the reaction of the cops and the authorities to the girls's position; making them to be the victims. The article comes in advance of the proposed legislation of a Human Trafficking Bill tomorrow at Westminster; the criticism of the Bill is that there is little/no provision for support for those who have been trafficked. At least Lord Morrow's Bill in N Ireland did make some moves towards support, even if such support might be provided by those with "anti-agendas".
