Lobby Russia to stop trafficking women & girls

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

Saw this, a campaign to get Russia to sign up to the Council of Europe's Convention Against Trafficking in Human Beings.

"This would put a real dent in the global rape trade - in which Russia is a key nexus. Up to 50,000 Russian women and girls are forced into the sex industry each year in Europe, and Russia also is a major route for girls trafficked from Asia into Europe. If Putin becomes personally invested in this issue, he could cause a crackdown by Russian authorities, and this would send a powerful signal to organized criminals everywhere."
