LONDON - The 38 Degrees activist group has mounted a campaign to pressure the British government into supporting new EU anti-human trafficking legislation.
“Will our government join European efforts to tackle human trafficking? It’s on a knife edge. And there’s no time to lose: the government is likely to make a decision, good or bad, in the next couple of weeks,” says 38 Degrees.
MPs could play a key role in pushing the government to do the right thing.
They need to tell David Cameron and Theresa May that their voters want action to tackle trafficking. Let’s email our MPs today and demand they speak out.

Every year, criminal gangs traffic thousands of people into the UK. Once the victims arrive here, many of them, including children, end up in the sex trade. The new Europe-wide plan would make life harder for the criminal gangs and mean better protection for the victims.
If the British government refuses to join in, that would be a disaster:
great news for the trafficking gangs, but terrible news for their victims.
If enough of us contact our MPs this week, we can help make sure that doesn’t happen.
