Asked by: Joani Reid (Labour - East Kilbride and Strathaven)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to support victims of sex trafficking.
Answered by Jess Phillips - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)
Sex trafficking is a truly terrible crime. Those who’ve endured it are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met. Victims of modern slavery in England and Wales receive tailored support, through the Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract, to help rebuild their lives, engage with the criminal justice system, and transition back into the wider community.
Supporting victims is a devolved power, so comparable tailored support is provided in Scotland and Northern Ireland by the devolved administrations and their partnering organisations.
