Project offers ex-prostitutes yoga courses

A FÁS-funded project for women affected by prostitution is helping them exit the sex industry and access jobs, education, as well as courses in yoga.

The €100,000 project has so far taken in up to 20 women affected by prostitution, mainly females trafficked into Ireland for sex purposes.

But it was also revealed yesterday that just seven sex traffickers have been prosecuted in the last two years, since new anti-trafficking laws were rolled out.
