BBC's Woman's Hour perpetuates sports-and-trafficking myth

From Tom in London: "I am sure you are aware of the trumped up hysteria around 40,000 'sex trafficked' into Germany for the 2006 World Cup, whilst EU papers showed only 5 alleged cases of sex-trafficking in the event. For a reminder, see http://www.glennsacks.com/blog/?cat=57.

Well, despite this reality check, BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour continues to perpetuate the myths, with an 8 minute discussion (between three sex-trafficking myth peddlers, with no serious challenge to their waffle) - available here.

If you don't listen to Woman's Hour already, it is well worth downloading the necessary media player, as their shows are split into segments and archived on their website, going back 3 years.

I have called the BBC's complaints line, to have them write a letter to me explaining why they chose to put on three sex-slavery myth deniers, and I recommend MANN readers should do the same.

Thanks!

Tom, London.
