Re street prostitutes: It is now a proven fact, also confirmed by the Danish government, that the Danish NGO Reden have falsified and greatly excaggerated the numbers. You can read more about the scam here (in Danish, use a web translator):

But street prostitution only amounts to about 10 percent of prostitution in Denmark. The Swedish report also claims that all Danish prostitution has tripled over the last decade – this is completely (!) unfounded, and scientific valid numbers show a small decline – once the falsified numbers mentioned above have been corrected.

Very interesting. I’ve been wondering occasionally about referral numbers to Eaves/Poppy in London, which have been related to Westminster on occasion to back up the UK anti-trafficking initiatives. Yet I do know they had very few referrals during our major anti-sex trafficking drives.

I guess in all the spare time you have, Laura(!), you couldn’t summarise Karen Ellemann’s answers referred to in English for us?
