Nigerians, Albanians , Vietnamese and
Romanians top countries that traffic sex
workers to the United Kingdom , the Home
Office has revealed after 11 people were
sentenced on Thursday for trafficking sex
workers from Hungary to Britain .
According to a report by Thomson Reuters
Foundation up to 13 ,000 victims of modern
slavery in Britain are forced to work in factories
and farms, sold for sex in brothels or kept in
domestic servitude, among other forms of
slavery , according to the Home Office ( interior
ministry) . Most come from Albania , Nigeria ,
Vietnam and Romania .
In the case of the Hungarian traffickers, at
least 250 sex workers were trafficked for the
purposes of sexual exploitation and the case
involved 50 brothels in London and
Peterborough .
“While in many cases the women were
voluntarily working in prostitution , they were
trafficked here to be exploited and controlled,
the women having to give up to half of their
earnings for the privilege of working in a house
or brothel run by the defendants, ” prosecutor
Baljit Ubhey said in a statement .
“I hope this case demonstrates our
commitment to working with partners both in
the UK and overseas in tackling organised
crime involving trafficking and sexual
exploitation. ”
The group of men and women were aged
between 28 and 53 years old and received
prison sentences ranging from 20 months to 14
years on counts of conspiracy to traffick
people to the United Kingdom and conspiracy
to control prostitution , the CPS said . One man
was also convicted on two counts of rape .
The global industry is estimated to generate
$150 billion a year in profits for those who
exploit modern- day slaves.
Britain passed the Modern Slavery Bill in March
to crack down on traffickers, clean up supply
chains and protect people feared at risk of
being enslaved.
