Recommendation 28
28
Deferred
Paragraph: 99
Implement all measures to tackle online sexual exploitation trafficking, including targeting money laundering.
Conclusion
The Home Office and law enforcement should be taking all measures possible to tackle trafficking for sexual exploitation online, so that it is no longer so easy or profitable for perpetrators to make money from sexual exploitation, including by ‘following the money’ and exploring links to money laundering and other organised crime gang- related activities and criminality.
Government Response Summary
The government states it shares concern and continues to address forced labour in global supply chains through Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, deflecting from the specific recommendation to tackle online trafficking for sexual exploitation by following the money.

30. The Government shares the Committee’s concern on this issue, and we continue to address forced labour in global supply chains through Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015. These provisions have resulted in a change in business culture, bringing discussion of modern slavery to the boardroom for the first time and providing transparency for consumers, investors and civil society.
