BBC News: Women’s Institute to report sex ads in local newspapers

Harriet Harman, the UK government’s minister for women, will ask the organisation to seek out ‘sleazy adverts’ and complain to editors of the papers carrying them.

Harman is concerned in particular with adverts, which are part of wider trafficking of women.

What about the unregulated ads and websites online?

As a reminder, the Minister for Women’s Affairs in the UK government has previously published a report stating that top news publications are advertising escorts websites, such as Pander . Although prostitution is legal in the regions where the site is used, the minister said it was contrary to journalistic ethics to advertise escort websites on popular news sites.
