Lambeth Council backs plans for South London newspapers to ban sex ads especially those that promote prostitution which fuels the influx of many foriegn trafficked women. It is thought that 40% of all men that seek street prostitutes also use the newspaper as their main means of obtaining other escorts and prostitutes that work in massage parlours and escort agencies.
Recent stats also show that almost 80% of street prostitutes are not UK nationals and the majority are trafficked into the country and forced to work in the sex trade. Banning the newspaper sex ads is thought to have a positive effect in putting a small dent into the illegal trade of exploited women as the criminals rely more on these ads than any other medium such as the internet becuase of the newspapers local and targetted presence.
The question is although this is a positive move in trying to reduce or make it harder for illegal prostitution to flourish, will it only mean that the criminals will adapt and find new ways to effectively market the women?
