Mandatory life sentence for involvement in trafficking women & children for sex

UN reports indicate a continued rise in the numbers of people being trafficked globally, particularly women and children. Current measures are clearly not sufficient to tackle this heinous crime which strips victims of their dignity and freedom. We believe that the institution and implementation of stricter, harsher punishments of the highest degree will act both as a warning and a deterrent to those involved at any level and will help to break the chain of trafficking taking place on our doorsteps.
