There was no increase in sex work or trafficking in SA, or Germany or Athens during their sporting events. OK Athens has a small, not statistically valid increase, of which little was due to the Olympics. Germany found 4 associated with the World Cup.

The police have seen no increase in trafficking in London, see present news articles in the papers, and the report for the Mayor of London.

Sorry many of us see through your anti sex work scare stories. Your tactics put us at risk by the forced closure of working spaces.

I don’t though expect you will publish this criticism, so not sure why I am wasting my time, other the utter contempt I hold you and others like you in..

I even expect you to take credit when evidence shows no increase in the UK during the Olympics.

And re your last comment Mary, the Olympics has already shown an increase in prostitution and slavery in the Olympic boroughs as the 2009 report showed so you’re ‘let’s hope increased awareness stops prostitution’ is out of date by 3 years – the horse has already bolted and male MPs are simply not interested in female and child sexual slavery in this country. I suspect they think it will be a vote loser for them amongst men who value porn and the sex industry way over women and children’s right to lives free from rape and fear.

I think it would help to stop calling slavery ‘trafficking’ and stop calling commercial rape ‘prostitution’. The sex industry is the biggest commissioner of slavery in the modern world and men in the UK are participating in the rape trade in alarming numbers whilst using self induced ‘ignorance’ as a defence. As a nation we seem to be totally morally adrift and hiding the state of our behaviour from our own sight by rebranding repugnant behaviour with boil in the bag phraseology and abject lying which we know call ‘denial’.

Thank you for participating in this important statement on the realities of prostitution and the need to keep the London Olympics free from compounding the harm to women that is inherent in this crime.

I hope that you will take a careful look at the “Swedish model” that finally places the blame for prostitution where it belongs – on the buyers whose demand for prostitution creates and drives the market in women’s bodies.
