Women trafficked into Ireland ‘are raped on daily basis’

Women and girls trafficked into Ireland for sex are “raped on a daily basis” and find it very difficult to escape or get help.

The Immigrant Council of Ireland (ICI), which represented 19 victims of trafficking for sexual exploitation during 2014, has now called on the Government to appoint an independent anti-trafficking czar.

Of the 19 women the ICI represented this year, half were from Nigeria, with the remainder coming from a range of countries all around the globe.
