"Britain should sign the convention on trafficked women agreed by the 46 member states of the Council of Europe. This has nothing to do with the EU and is an effort to offer protection to trafficked sex slaves by treating them as victims, not criminals or accomplices in crime. In essence, the convention allows any woman to be protected and sheltered once she escapes from her slave owners. Home Office jobsworths are resisting the convention on the grounds that it might give a reason for some of these sex slaves to believe they can stay in Britain rather than be expelled. On the contrary: signing the convention would send a signal to the pimps that their slaves can win freedom in a Britain determined to tackle this scourge."
