Campaigners call on home secretary to stop ‘industrial scale’ sexual exploitation of Romanian women
The home secretary, Priti Patel, is being urged to stop the UK being a “pimp’s paradise” where trafficked women, particularly from Romania, are being sexually exploited on an “industrial scale”.
Campaigners claim there is mounting evidence that thousands of women are being coerced into sex work each year after being lured to the UK by criminal gangs intent on exploiting its relatively liberal prostitution laws.
