Ruhama, an organisation that provides support for women who are involved in prostitution, has called for the establishment of a Garda National Vice Squad.

It says this would be a pro-active way of carrying out surveillance and gathering intelligence about what is happening within the sex trade in Ireland.

Ruhama says the problem is not confined to Dublin, or other large urban centres, and says it has encountered women who have been trafficked to small rural areas. It has launched a multi-lingual leaflet campaign this week in co-operation with garda.
