Scotland-wide inquiry into sex trafficking

HeraldScotland: “The Equality and Human Rights Commission is to use its unique powers to hold a national inquiry into human trafficking in Scotland . . .

The report said sex slavery of women and children was just one part of a growing trade in human beings . . . “
