In the UK works many organized gangs that deal with human trafficking. People on arrival in Britain are forced into slave labor under the pressure of health and even life loss. Global trafficking research estimates that at least one person is trafficked across International borders every minute. “Trafficking is closely linked to poverty – work by the International Labour Organisation in 2005 found that the majority of victims live in the poorest sections of their national population”.“According to the Association of Chief Police Officers there are at least 2,600 migrant victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation in England and Wales alone. Data from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre finds that on average, 300 children are trafficked into the UK every year – almost one a day”.
