This is horrific www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/baby-making-factory-nigeria-ogun-b1766419.html

Its a worldwide problem, but the above article is from today. Reading the Equality Now website it states "In the United Kingdom, more than 8,500 sexual services ads are posted online every month. Traffickers are able to easily post ads for trafficked women and children."

Does anyone know if our government are doing enough/ what they are doing to stop trafficking in the UK?

Our government should make a stand but I haven't even seen this on the news!

DeaconBoo · 05/12/2020 19:46

I feel so helpless when there are huge numbers of despicable men like this in the world. It's just so sick and depressing. Those poor women and babies.

BettyDuKeiraBellisMyShero · 05/12/2020 19:51

I don’t really have any words.

HermioneWeasley · 05/12/2020 19:52

Ah, cis privilege

FTMF30 · 05/12/2020 19:53

@hermioneweasley What does Cisco privilege mean for this?

FTMF30 · 05/12/2020 19:54

*cis 🙄

Igotjelly · 05/12/2020 19:58

Holy shit. I assumed these children would be adopted but it's worse even than that Angry

Ah, cis privilege

I really hope this is meant ironically.

ilovetomatoes · 05/12/2020 20:02

I honestly can’t believe this is happening. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever read. I don’t know why I’m surprised though as when there is money to be made from human life there will always be those willing to do it

Trafficking of young girls and teens within the UK who have been groomed and exploited by older men locally or online... Not so much.

Trafficking of young girls and teens outside of the UK... Not so much.

Trafficking of women within and outside of the UK... Not so much.

Women and girls trafficked into the UK... Not so much. And the "hostile environment" policies definitely don't help.

But then given that TV programmes like that vile police custody one exploit trafficked women all over again to meet the voyeurism of TV viewers, it's hardly surprising so little is done. It's culturally accepted.

Wish I was horrified. Nigeria has soo many probs going on right now.

user1274245 · 05/12/2020 20:12

If you facilitate or transport someone (within or outside the UK) in order for you or another person to rape them that's trafficking, regardless of whether money is exchanged.

This is probably one of the more reliable reports to read. It deals with government responses to trafficking in pretty much every country.

That's truly awful. It disgusts me the lengths some people will go to for money.

I have no idea why my comment was deleted

This is horrific. Those poor women. Their suffering is just unimaginable - how can some men be this evil?

Coyoacan · 06/12/2020 00:26

Horrible for the women, but I'm terrified for the babies.

NeurotrashWarrior · 06/12/2020 07:52

Fucking horrific.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 06/12/2020 07:59

Rituals involving the body parts of infants are sadly still prevalent in certain areas. It's horrendous.

Stripesnomore · 06/12/2020 09:13

This kept me awake last night. It is the most horrendous thing I have ever heard of. Dealing with trafficking and slavery should be a global priority.

Thanks to the poster above who linked to a report about what governments are doing. I am going to look into what charities are working to end this.

imhereforthesanity · 06/12/2020 09:23

Truly shocking, it disgusts, saddens, and enrages me that this happens. We all know what a 'women' is when it come this this!

BelleHathor · 06/12/2020 09:41

Unfortunately this case is far from unique, women and girls clearly don't matter, it's completely heartbreaking. This is a similar case from Brazil:
"She claimed young girls were held captive in remote farms, where they were forced to produce babies.She added that the women were murdered after 10 years of giving birth."

"Sex slave farm:In a video, Bittencourt, whose organization, Coame, helps women report sexual assault by religious leaders, said she has spoken to women from at least three continents who claimed they bought Brazilian babies from John of God for as much as $50,000....Bittencourt claims she has collected testimony from former members of the “John of God” cult.She claims Faria would offer money to poor girls aged 14 to 18 to go and live in mineral mines or farms he owns in the Brazilian states of Goias and Minas Gerais. There they would become sex slaves and be forced to get pregnant and their babies would be sold to the highest bidder from other continents, Bittencourt alleges.“In exchange for food, they were impregnated and their babies sold on the black market,” she said.“Hundreds of girls were enslaved over years, lived on farms in Goias, served as wombs to get pregnant, for their babies to be sold.“These girls were murdered after 10 years of giving birth. We have got a number of testimonies.“We have received reports from the adoptive mothers of their children that we sold for between $20,000 and $50,000 in Europe, USA and Australia, as well as testimony from ex-workers and local people who are tired of being complicit with John of God’s gang.”
