Men have answer to sex slave scandal

THE RTÉ Prime Time programme on trafficking (May 8) highlighted the lives of extreme violence and poverty that these children and young women endure.

It was an excellent, thought-provoking documentary. Sadly, however, the programme did not address one central issue: if men were not willing to buy women for sex in the first instance, then quite obviously the demand simply would not exist for this wretched, degrading ‘service’.

Perhaps Irishmen could now lead the way by saying no to prostitution.
