".
I fully support this resolution and urge the Football Association, and football clubs, to help end human trafficking and forced prostitution and prevent international sports events triggering dramatic increases in this horrific trade.
They must 'Show the red card to forced prostitution'. They should work with the clubs to inform and educate the general public, and especially sports fans and supporters, about the scale of the problem of forced prostitution and trafficking in human being.
Up to 800 000 women are victims of trafficking every year, 100 000 of them in the European Union. This is one of the most serious abuses of human rights in the world today. Organised criminals are now preparing to exploit the World Cup. Thousands of poor women will be lured to Germany by false promises of work, only to be forced into prostitution and a life of misery.
We need Europe-wide action and the involvement not just of the police and politicians but also of the Football Association, clubs, and the fans themselves. I urge all fans attending the World Cup to be alert to this scandal and to report any suspicions of trafficking that they might have."@en1
