Written Question
Human Trafficking: Prostitution
Wednesday 7th May 2025

Asked by: Lord Bishop of Bristol (Bishops - Bishops)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their forthcoming Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy will consider victims of sexual exploitation in the light of recent data from the International Organization for Migration showing that fewer women and girls are being supported through the National Referral Mechanism.

Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government is working closely with law enforcement to tackle the drivers of trafficking for sexual exploitation, including through law enforcement operational intensifications aimed at tackling modern slavery threats and targeting prolific perpetrators. We are currently considering policy options on how we can best support those impacted by sexual exploitation, including in the context of our violence against women and girls strategy.
