Coveney Stands Up For Trafficking Victims

Irish Examiner> Breaking News> Sport: "Temporary residency permits should be offered to people trafficked into Ireland for cheap labour or sexual exploitation, it was claimed today.

Fine Gael MEP Simon Coveney called on the Government to consider including the measure to aid trafficked women in planned immigration and anti-trafficking legislation.

“Human trafficking is rooted in poverty; the victims are usually women and they are forced into dangerous, illegal or abusive work,” he said."
