Human trafficking a hidden problem in St Lucia?

St. Lucia Star "Worldwide, human trafficking is considered modern-day slavery. It involves victims who are forced, defrauded or coerced into labor or sexual exploitation. Every year, about 600,000 to 800,000 people—mainly women and children—are trafficked across national borders, which does not count the millions trafficked within their own countries. Prostitution is believed to be inherently harmful, dehumanizing and actually fuels human trafficking. Prostitution and related activities—including pimping and patronizing or maintaining brothels—fuel the growth of this modern day slavery by providing a faÁade behind which traffickers for sexual exploitation operate."
