But there is a growing underclass in the seedy world of the sex trade, of foreign women who are being forced to work as poorly paid prostitutes for powerful gangmasters. And some critics fear that proposals to relax Scotland?s prostitution laws could make it a hotspot for the gangs that traffic women. "
