Here is a link to an article in London where a judge has ordered monetary restitution for victims smuggled into the country to perform sex with hundreds of clients a week.  I hope this is only the beginning of a trend as justice is served to those exploiting woman and children.  Money can not make up for the harm that was done, but at least it will help as they try to move on with their lives.

A new report from the UN today came out that said that woman play a dominate role in the trafficking of other woman and children. Here’s an exert:

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Surprisingly, the perpetrators behind human trafficking around the world are often women, the U.N. reported Thursday.

Women are the majority of traffickers in almost a third of the 155 nations the U.N. surveyed. They accounted for more than 60 percent of the human trafficking convictions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

For many, human trafficking is a world they had been pulled into themselves.

“Women commit crimes against women, and in many cases the victims become the perpetrators,” Antonio Maria Costa, director of the Vienna-based U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, said in an interview. “They become the matrons of the business and they make money. It’s like a drug addiction.”

Most of the world’s nations reported some form of “modern slavery” last year involving mainly the sex trade or forced labor.
