From east to west: sex traffic
From east to west: sex traffic

This week the Government is starting Pentameter 2 - that's the codename for an international effort against people trafficking.
Police forces across the United Kingdom and the Irish Republic are fighting the traffickers - men who they hold responsible for the transportation of thousands to work in the so-called sex industry.
More4 News went to Chisinau, the capital of Moldova - one of Europe's poorest economies - and then on to Bucharest in Romania, two areas from where many of the apparently trafficked women come.
What was found was an environment where issues of choice and consent can be tragically blurred.
