Sex trafficking in Scotland

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

This Westminster Hall debate, sponsored by Tracy Gilbert (Labour MP for Edinburgh North and Leith), focuses on sex trafficking in Scotland. The discussion will examine the scale of this serious crime, its impact on victims, and what measures are needed to combat it effectively.

Sex trafficking is a form of modern slavery with severe human rights and safeguarding implications. The debate will likely inform national and devolved policy approaches to tackling exploitation, supporting victims, and improving coordination between law enforcement and support services across Scotland.
