Beer mat campaign targets sextrafficking

Young men tempted to go to a prostitute may get a shock reminder of the reality of sex trafficking when they are out drinking with friends.

A new campaign is distributing beer mats to bars and hotels with the testimony of a 15-year-old survivor of human trafficking. She was forced to have sex with 15 men a day before she escaped.

The Immigrant Council of Ireland, supported by a European Commission project, is trying to reach out to those driving the demand for prostitution in Ireland.
