Mensenhandel en seksuele uitbuiting

There are at least 45,000 advertisements online luring Eastern European sex workers abroad, including the Netherlands. What exactly is hidden behind these advertisements? Last year, journalists in an international research team investigated how these sex workers can become victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This digital method of investigation is also a method that the Dutch police and the Public Prosecution Service want to apply, because the underlying criminal networks remain out of reach with the current approach.
