The new EU directive on trafficking in human beings, which was passed in March 2011, missed the opportunity to make it illegal to buy sex from a trafficked person. The criminalisation is crucial for putting an end to sex trafficking, since it would reduce the demand that fosters trafficking, make it less profitable and more risky. As long as the sex buyer has no liability, it’s business as usual for the human traffickers.
