Horrors of trafficking unveiled in report

MOST victims of human trafficking are subjected to threats, imprisonment, sexual abuse and beatings by their traffickers, according to a Government report.

In many cases their wages and personal documentation are withheld and threats are often made against their families back home.

Those trafficked into prostitution — including minors — are typically not able to refuse clients or refuse certain sexual acts and more than 25% are denied the protection of condoms.
