The Army's History in Fighting Sexual Trafficking

Mrs Josephine Butler was the wife of a scholarly Anglican clergyman and one of the noblest and most heroic English women of her time. In the 1880’s she risked wild and brutal opposition on a vigorous crusade to change laws which were grossly unfair to women and resulted in many young girls being trafficked for sex.

Sexual trafficking is the movement of women and children, usually from one country to another but sometimes within a country, for purposes of prostitution or some other form of sexual slavery. It includes the recruitment, transportation, harbouring, transfer, or sale of women and children for these purposes. Most sexual trafficking also includes some form of coercion – such as kidnapping, threats, intimidation, assault, rape, drugging or other forms of violence.

Nation states have a responsibility under international law to act with due diligence to prevent trafficking, to investigate and prosecute traffickers and to assist and protect trafficked persons. It is clear that many states are failing in this responsibility.

The 2003 U.S. Government “Trafficking in Persons Report” and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) indicate that 700,000- 2,000,000 people annually are trafficked across international borders worldwide. In such places as India, Tanzania, Switzerland, Australia, the Netherlands, the UK, Canada, Bangladesh, and Ghana, The Salvation Army is working with women caught up in commercial sex. In these programmes there is likely to be involvement with women and girls involved in trafficking but they are not specifically targeted (this may be a silent ministry due to the nature of the problem). In some countries the problem is not even recognised.
