A group called Resist Exploitation, Embrace Dignity (REED) has revealed that the 2006 football world cup in Germany attracted a record number of human traffickers and prostitution was in huge demand.

�Any time that you have men who are travelling, so they�re away from their social networks and they enjoy a degree of anonymity, they�re more likely to purchase sex,� said Michelle Miller, the leader of REED. Ms Miller proposes that Canada should follow Sweden in criminalizing buying of sex and showing human concern towards the victims.

In a campaign called �Buying Sex is Not a Sport,� REED is partnering with former prostitutes in organizing community meets to address the need to be vigilant during the Olympics.
