UK anti-slavery commissioner launches investigation into ‘pimping websites’

The UK's independent anti-slavery commissioner, Eleanor Lyons, has launched an investigation into "pimping websites" that allegedly exploit trafficked and vulnerable women. Lyons plans to interview women who claim they were trafficked into sex work and advertised on adult services websites like Vivastreet, where users can browse images and videos of women selling sex. The investigation aims to address concerns about the level of exploitation occurring on these online platforms. The commissioner's intervention comes amid growing scrutiny of the role of technology in facilitating the sex trade and human trafficking. The findings of this investigation could have significant implications for how such websites are regulated and the protection offered to individuals involved in the sex industry.
