Setting the record: The trafficking of migrant women in the England and Wales off-street prostitution sector
K Jackson, J Jeffery and G Adamson, Association of Chief Police Officers, 2010
This report finds that around 17,000 of the estimated 30,000 women involved in off-street prostitution in England and Wales are migrants. Approximately half come from Eastern Europe and a third from Asia. These women were grouped into three categories: those who were trafficked, those who are vulnerable and those who meet neither threshold. Of the 17,000 migrant women identified, 2,600 were deemed to have been trafficked and a further 9,600 were deemed vulnerable migrants who may be further victims of trafficking. Most of those trafficked (2,200) were from Asia, primarily China.
