Members of the Women's Institute (WI) are being asked to help crack down on adverts selling sex in newspapers, it emerged.

A spokeswoman for the group, which has more than 200,000 members across the country, told Radio 5 Live that members would be encouraged to look out for adverts and write letters of complaint to editors if they found them.

She said: "There are an estimated 4,000 females currently living in the UK who have trafficked to work on the street and off the street as prostitutes."
