Stop the Metropolitan Police from Scrapping the Trafficking Unit
The Metropolitan Police’s proposal to abolish its specialist unit dealing with human trafficking shows a total disregard for the crime and its victims.
I’ve launched this petition to show the Commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, that Londoners object to the closure of this unit, which is described as an international example of good practice.
In the run up to the 2012 Olympics which like other international sporting events is linked to a steep increase in prostitution, women vulnerable to trafficking need access to specialist policing now more than ever.
The Guardian have published an article I have written on this subject in the Comment is Free section of their website. You can read it here.
