Abstract
Despite somewhat extensive legislation that reduce the number of offences connected to human trafficking for sexual exploitation throughout England and Wales, all circumstances are not fully elaborated upon. Sex trafficking, according to the Shared Hope International Group, is when ‘someone uses force, fraud or compulsion to cause a profitable sex act with an adult which includes prostitution, pornography and sexual performance done in exchange for items of value, all including, money, drugs, shelter, food and clothes.’ Whilst undertaking this research report to consider the chosen topic, sex trafficking is closely allied to human trafficking and slavery, as they link together under the same legislation guidelines. We believe that it is best to address this matter in the opening of our report as sex trafficking has only recently converted into an issue within England and Wales as it was previously perceived solely as human trafficking and slavery. Human trafficking is the action of illegally transporting people from one country or area to another and this action is usually forced. Section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act then defines slavery to be ‘If a person requires another to perform forced or compulsory labour and the circumstances are such that the person knows or ought to know that the other person is being required to perform forced or compulsory labour’.

Slave trade has had an active role in the British economy, especially during the early 17th century when Britons developed their own colonies and needed people to work for plantations[3]
Britons opposed slave trade, since slavery itself was abolished within the British Empire, with the exception of India, with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which freed 800,000 slaves owned by Britons
Summary
Laws have been modernised and altered to suit the nature of sex trafficking crime due to the number of offences increasing. The Sexual Offenses Act of 2003 does not contain comprehensive information on sex trafficking, only a small part of the document is devoted to this subject, which does not constitute sufficient protection for victims or prevention of such crimes It is not specified what kind of penalty threatens to force or psychological violence to provide sexual services.[8]. Its most imperative fact is his position is independent and the most important parts of his tasks are: creating reports for the Secretary of State, Scottish Ministers and the Department of Justice in Northern Ireland, making recommendations for any public authorities, supporting (financial or any needed) to conduct research, providing information, education and training, government consultations and non-governmental, cooperation with government organisations (e.g. the Commissioner for Victims and Witnesses), voluntary and other people This office can be a potential breakthrough in protecting the rights of modern slaves as victims because it is one of the first offices of this type. It can serve as an example for other countries too
