“Nefarious: Merchant of Souls”, is a hard-hitting documentary that exposes the disturbing trends in modern sex slavery. From the very first scene, Nefarious ushers you into the nightmare of sex slavery that hundreds of thousands experience daily. You’ll see where slaves are sold (often in developed, affluent countries), where they work, and where they are confined. You’ll hear first-hand interviews with real victims and traffickers, along with expert analysis from international humanitarian leaders.
From initial recruitment to victim liberation—and everything in between—the previously veiled underworld of sex slavery is uncovered in the groundbreaking, tell-all Nefarious, Merchant of Souls.
Come and allow the Lord to produce in you a cry for justice. Our desire is to raise awareness, mobilise prayer for justice and provoke positive action for the abolition of modern day slavery.
Sex trafficking is a very real and current issue in Scotland:
* prostitution is legal in Scotland, making it a magnet for traffickers
* several thousand foreign national women work in prostitution in Scotland, but trafficked women are kept silent through fear of violence towards them or their families, and through debt and addiction
* a recent government inquiry found that there is very little awareness of the problem, and the even professionals who come into contact with trafficking would be unlikely to identify it
* the UK government heard last year that children are being smuggled into the UK and sold on the streets for ÂŁ16,000
This screening is part of a three-week tour bringing this issue to light across the UK. Find out more and watch the trailer at http://www.nefariousdocumentary.com/
