The All-Party Parliamentary Group realize this inquiry on prostitution and the global sex trade.The sexual exploitation of women by organised crime groups is
widespread across the UK. Third party exploiters, including traffickers
and brothel owners, dominate the off-street sex trade, exploiting mainly
non-UK national women in order to profit from the minority of men who
pay for sex. The typical model of organised sexual exploitation is characterised
by its transient and dynamic nature. This can entail brothels operating
for a short period of time; a regular and changing ‘supply’ of women
into a single brothel; and/or women being moved around different
locations to be sexually exploited. The dynamic nature of these
practices means the figures available on the prevalence of organised
sexual exploitation likely represent a small fraction of the true scale
of the problem.
