Trafficking exaggerated

I’m concerned about the terminology used in media coverage of human trafficking.

Irish and international advocacy groups are misusing the word. Department of Justice figures show an average of 50 cases per year, yet we are led to believe the problem is far more prevalent and that a clampdown on prostitution is the answer. A politically correct and sexist agenda appears to be at work and anyone who disputes the data is sidelined. Any foreign woman selling sex services is automatically deemed to have been trafficked, without any actual evidence. How is this accurate reporting?
