I see my earlier post on this has been deleted. Fair enough. I would also point out that even though Veritas, somebody who I admire greatly, is related to this person, the fact that she is clearly furthering an agenda that is a common thread of this forum i.e. anti-sex, and anti-male sexuality, makes her a fair target for criticism. It's nothing personal.
Anway, you can watch the video here :

Harman clearly states the following :
a sex trafficking gang had been jailed in the UK only last week for bringing women and girls into this country as young as 13 to be sold for sex
Now read actual news reports on that case and you will discover the following :
- the girl of 13 was only going to dance, and the judge accepted that.
- there is no indication the girl of 13 was trafficked into the country.
- one girl of 17 may have been solicited for sex
- the judge accepted that no force of co-ercion was used. The women came willingly into the country to work as dancers and then it was freely suggested to them that they could earn extra money if they had sex with some clients. A suggestion many readily took up.

It is impossible to find details of the EU directive on human trafficking, but it does 'widen' the definition of 'exploitation of the prositution of others', something that feminist groups have been lobbying for and which clearly could be interpreted by governments to effectively close down prostitution alltogether.
I will be very dissapointed if this post gets deleted or disapproved.
