Trafficked women06 Apr 2004
It's a year since the opening of a hostel for over 18s trafficked into this country and in danger of being forced into prostitution, and six months since we reported the closure of the only hostel for girls under eighteen in the same situation.

This month a new girls' hostel opens. So how much support is there now for women and girls trying to escape the traffickers and pimps?

To discuss whether the problem is getting better or worse Jenni is joined by Lyn Chitty who referred girls to the hostel for under 18s and is opening a new hostel this month, and Denise Marshall, Chief Executive at Eaves Housing who runs a refuge for women over 18 who have been trafficked into prostitution.
