The Gardaí and the PSNI are investigating an international sex trafficking ring, which brings women and young girls into Ireland to work as prostitutes.
The victims, who are promised education and employment, first undergo a voodoo ceremony in Nigeria before travelling through London and Belfast to be placed in brothels and apartments here.
The Nigerian trafficking gang is working with Irish criminals, pimps and escort agencies.
On RTÉ Radio's Drivetime, Geraldine Rowley of Ruhama, the group which works with women involved in prostitution, has called on the Government to make it a priority to act against sex trafficking.
