Human trafficking is on the rise, like a form of slavery or enslavement it invariably results in people tricked into being given illegal passage from the poorer third world countries with promises of gainful employment.

However upon arrival in UK they are forced to work off the "debt" and if young and female are pushed into prostitution, the older woman and men usually are forced into domestic servitude or manual labouring. The debt then increases as they have to pay their room and board so essentially they become trapped in this cycle of enslavement. The vast majority are illiterate and cannot speak English so cannot alert anyone as to their plight. If they run away they are usually quickly found and then punished with more debt and beatings.

This is a nasty situation and its one that is growing.
