Human Trafficking: Telling Fact from Fiction
Dramatic police raids, questionable statistics and opportunistic politics weave a tale of anti-trafficking that just doesn't add up. In fact, anti-trafficking has fueled an industry of politicians and organizations that have done more harm than good. This is in part because they have twisted the facts, but even worse, they have chosen to ignore the reality of the victims of human trafficking. It's a complex issue, but one that we've worked hard to unravel and understand over the last eight years. To learn more, start with our recommended reading.
In the meantime, be sure to read Brendan O'Neill's excellent article from Spiked-Online. O'Neill delves into the issue with a rare capactity for balanced and truthful reporting. Ultimately, he shows that the handing of anti-trafficking programs by the various agencies is not only flawed in tactics, but also lacking a sound strategic basis.
There was only one problem with this story: it was as fictional as the original Dickensian tale of artful dodgers. The Roma children were not child slaves; of the 10 kids ‘rescued’ in Slough on Friday (one of whom was less than a year old: hardly pickpocketing material) all but one were reunited with their natural parents or guardians the following day. No evidence has been discovered to show that the Roma adults in Slough were involved in a ‘criminal gang’ or a ‘child slave ring’ or any other form of serious criminality.
