Notice of Motion from Councillors A Lloyd, D Phillips, J Burtonshaw, C Thomas, M Child, J Miles, D Thomas, R Stewart and R Francis-Davies There are more people enslaved today than there were 200 years ago when William Wilberforce led the fight to abolish slavery. Human Trafficking, the modern day slave trade, is the fastest growing form of international crime with 600,000 – 800,000 people trafficked across international borders each year. While women and children are particularly vulnerable to trafficking for the sex trade, human trafficking is not limited to sexual exploitation. Across the world men, women and children, some as young as three years old, are bought and sold into prostitution, forced labour, domestic servitude and forced organ donation to name a few "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" Women are involved in 77% of trafficking cases worldwide, with sexual exploitation a factor in 87%. Forced labour is also a motive behind trafficking. The UK is a major destination for trafficked women. Police believe that about 4,000 have been brought in to the country by criminal gangs and forced to work as prostitutes. Police say that victims are found "all over the UK, not just in metropolitan areas"., police say. Often, women are lured by adverts in their home countries for jobs such as restaurant staff, maids and child minders. The age of victims varies widely, but most are between 18 and 24. Police have also rescued a number of children. Victims can end up in any town or city where brothels operate. They are found in all the major towns and cities in the UK. The fate of many victims is unclear. “I am not for sale, we are not for sale no-one should be for sale”. Council therefore resolves • to adopt a ‘Not For Sale’ policy • that on behalf of the Council the Lord Mayor and Leader of the City and County of Swansea sign The Council of Europe’s Declaration on the Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings, which the U.K Government has already signed ratified. Council recognizes that the creation of resource centres, which provide specialised assistance to trafficked human beings, should be priority. Such centres would co-ordinate all aspects of victim care through the provision of secure walk-in shelters and longer term refuges, medical and psychological assistance and a 24 hours emergency telephone hotline. To this end Council further resolves to initiate dialogue with our neighbouring local authorities, community groups, South Wales Police and the Welsh Assembly Government to determine the best and most efficient way that such centres could be created. Council also notes that the sex industry plays a major part in human trafficking, particularly of women. Trinity Mirror Plc, which publishes the Western Mail, South Wales Echo and Wales on Sunday decided in November 2007 not to accept classified advertisements from massage parlours and other so-called “Health Clubs”. Council also resolves to call on the South Wales Evening Post and other local Newspapers to follow this lead and refuse adverts such as those for “Happy Niki”, “Maria’ Massage” etc. 15. Notice of Motion from Councillors Darren Price, Adrian Rees, Rhodri Thomas, Vanessa Webb Council condemns the Post Office closure programme by the Westminster Government, which could see 2,500 Post Offices close across the UK. Council regrets the closure of so many Post Offices within the City and County of Swansea over previous years and reaffirms its commitment to the protection of this vital network. Council sees the Post Office Network as a valuable social resource and acknowledges that there is potential to develop the network. Council therefore resolves to enter talks with the Post Office and other relevant agencies prior to the upcoming consultation period in an attempt to minimise the number of Post Office closures in the City and County of Swansea. Council notes that this may take the form of re-locating branches to other public buildings such as schools and libraries. 16. To authorise the affixing of the Common Seal to any document necessary to carry into effect any resolution passed or confirmed at this meeting.
