Trafficking Hotline

EDM number 530 in 2009-10, proposed by Jo Swinson on 05/01/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Licensing and Sexual offences.

That this House notes with deep concern the numbers of women and girls trafficked into the UK for commercial sexual exploitation and the inadequate availability of specialist resources for them; welcomes the Government's new strategy, tackling violence against women, and the introduction of a 24-hour sexual violence helpline; and calls for the advertising of this hotline to be required as part of the sex establishment licence for all sexual entertainment venues in the UK to ensure maximum numbers of victims can be identified and offered the crucial early care they require.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs.
