Galway university is claiming knowledge of 80 women trafficked into Ireland for sex slavery,
I think the figure too low and would multiply it a few times over.
Interestingly the current government FF/Green/PD have opted out of European security and
justice issues including file-sharing on people trafficking and we are a haven for people
who can and will abuse the human rights of women and children-the UK admin also opted
out on the human trafficking issue which means really that its not on the agenda of this
Government to care about those under our protections at all.

True...

However human trafficking and sex slavery are 2 very different issues which are for the wrong reasons often used as synonyms. I believe in the human right of free movement and trafficking is a result of immigration policies that trample the right of people to move, settle and work where they see fit for them self and their families. Countries like the Netherlands have been often criticized by several body's such including the EU commision on Human Rights for enforcing immigration law in way's that infrinch on the human rights of non europeans within and outside of their borders.

American sociologist S Becker once wrote:

Social groups create deviance by making the rules whose infraction constitutes in deviance and by applying those rules to particular people and labelling them as outsiders. Deviance is not a quality of the act the person commits but rather a consequence of the application by others of rules and sanctions to an ‘offender’
(Macionis and Plummer 2002 Page 423)

Many of those who cry blood over human trafficking have refused to apologize and refused to pay reparations for and from their countries role and benefit in one of the most brutal episodes of human trafficking: The Trans atlantic Slave trade.

Many of those on the forefront fighting Human trafficking actually have no regard for those who are trafficed. Their primary aim is nothing more than to keep Europe's population white.

Europeans love to see African RESOURCES pour into Europe but not AFRICAN HUMANS. So they rob and steal around the world and build a wall around their countries so the rest of the world may stay in the misery they have caused. But what about stopping AID (For every $1 AID to Africa there is $13 flowing back in unfair trade) and starting with ONLY FAIR TRADE? Would that be more effective in stopping people risking their life to sell their bodies in Europe? I'm tempted to think so...
To keep Europe's populations white will cost people who benefit from the exploitation of non europeans money, money they will have to pay for either fairly traded goods or for security...
