    That is child traficking s@xual exploitation. Children cant consent to being prostitues, many adults dont either. France’s case is partly because of better reporting but i wont be surprised if traficking has increased worldwide due to ongoing and additonal conflicts and harder economic times. Unfortunatey women and children are the first victims of wars (and hard times)

  2. > Miprof said the growth in recorded cases was partly linked to efforts by grassroots organisations to identify and support victims, as well as improvements in the way police handle such cases.

    Statistics! Where doing a better job makes it look like the problem is getting worse.

    And I’m sure some people will just say “sex work is real work” and hand wave any concerns away

    Did y’all see the link to the other article in this one? “Nigerian prostitution ring dismantled in France”. I hate to admit it, but my first thought when looking at this post was “I bet it’s tied to immigration and poor refugees who are preyed upon.”

  5. This is likely due to efforts in actually uncovering and dismantling these rings.

    It was happening just as much before, it just didnt show in the statistics.

    Yeah cause after the EP files we learned that laws no longer apply. If they can’t arrest the rich for it why should we arrest anyone for it.

    FRANCE CUTS TIES WITH MICROSOFT AND SENDS CHILDREN TO THE STREET CORNER. LEFTY LINUX IS DESTROYING THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT. THEIR MILITARY CAN’T FIND NEW RECRUITS AS THEIR YOUTH ARE FORCED INTO SEX WORK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

  8. Sensationalism at its worst. There are 70 million people in France and this article is about a rise from 288 to 416 cases. They even admit that a large portion of the stats is because they’re getting better at reporting them.

    Don’t get me wrong, 416 is around 416 too many but this article is misleading trash.

    This doesn’t mean the problem is getting worse. This means the problem already WAS worse and we didn’t know until now.

  10. I suspect this number has been consistent for the last few milennia, but the methods and focus on recording it has gotten 43% better the last 4 years.
