The growth in the Sex industry across the world has been one of the major scandals of our time. Hundreds of Girls are selling themselves for sex in a major City like Manchester every day. Perhaps one of the worst aspects of this trade is the use of single mothers. Young women abandoned by the fathers of their children have no jobs, no money and no childcare. They seem to feel that they have no choice but to take to prostitution. Once drawn in they become trapped and continue working for years to feed their children and to provide a decent life for them.

These young women feel shame and low self esteem but their plight could get worse as Governments move to disrupt human trafficking for sex. The Scandinavian law would outlaw payments for sex. This could dramatically cut the number of customers and force young mothers into more dangerous activity on the streets.
