  • Y2K Sauna, Seven Sisters Road, Holloway, London. Scene where a milti million pound vice ring was centred by Josephine Daly. Josephine Daly was thought to have been an eccentric woman who named her house after a pet dog she had buried in the garden. Rarely seen outdoors or driving her white Rolls-Royce, the bespectacled 64-year-old hardly aroused suspicion in Hornsey. But when detectives began investigating one of the capital's biggest vice rings, they soon discovered "Josie" was not what she seemed. Over more than a decade, the quietly spoken Irish woman had built up a prostitution empire based at three saunas which was earning her an alleged £3-4m a year.<br />
Only one of the premises actually had a sauna. Undercover officers were offered a sex menu after paying a £10 entry fee and ushered into a massage room where they made their excuses and left. A surveillance operation showed 1,500 men were going to the brothels at Aqua Sauna, Lanacombe Sauna, and the Ishka Bath every week.

Morial Exhibition Hall Authority, the convention centers governing body, and New Orleans & Company, the private tourism nonprofit formerly known as the Convention and Visitors Bureau. These rainy day reserves, the coalitions letter says, were amassed through the booming success of the hospitality industry — an industry that only succeeds and exists because of the work of tens of thousands of New Orleanians and southeastern Louisianans.

  • Prostitutes sex cards on a telephone booth floor amongst discarded cigarette ends. 'Tart cards' are cards advertising the services of prostitutes. They are found in many countries, usually in capital cities or red-light districts. The cards originated in the 1960s as handwritten postcards outside prostitutes' flats in places such as Soho, London, where they often contained euphemistic references to sex. Now that phone boxes are rarely used, being used for these cards or as public toilets seems to be their predominant use.

  • Nasima, 32. I started sex work six years ago. My husband is in Iran and one of my friends introduced me to some clients. My target was to earn money. My husband doesn't know the work I do. If he knew he would divorce me. Yes I am afraid he will find out. He thinks I work in a beauty parlour. It is not a good thing to do this work. I want to stop. We are afraid of the police. If they catch us they put us in the court or they release us if we pay. Sometimes they ask for $1,000. I earn 6,000 to 10,000 Afghanis in a week - I have three to four clients. I know the clients so they are not violent towards me, they are safe. Before we didn't use condoms but after we went to the clinic, now we do.

  • Fruit and buyers in the narrow streets of the Bairro Alto district - or Upper City - the oldest of Lisbon's residential quarters. A local woman across the narrow, high-sided street, yawns while an orange and apple seller looks for her next customer on the cobbled lane. <br />
Lisbon's Bairro Alto quarter is located above Baixa and developed in the 16th Century. Suffering very little damage in the earthquake of 1755, it remains the area of most character and renowned for its residential and working quarter for craftsmen and shopkeepers. At night, life takes on a different personality when bars and up until the 60s, prostitution gave the district a bad reputation in the past but nowadays tourists and the chic frequent its streets and traditional 'Fado' (classical Portuguese opera) bars.

Abduction and trafficking in children is now a rapidly growing threat, with the most common forms of trafficking being child prostitution, forced labour, slavery, servitude and the removal of body organs.

  • A mother holds her young daughter in a cobbled street of Lisbon's Biarro Alto district. With graffiti on the wall behind them and the city street stretching off in the distance, the couple of Portuguese family members stand on the cobbles. The mother smiles but the little girl looks distrustful and slightly nervous. Bairro Alto is one of the oldest districts in Lisbon. Dozens of fado singing clubs animate the area. All major Portuguese newspapers once had their offices in here. Prostitution was visible and considerable. Since the 1990s, Bairro Alto went through major changes. Lisbon's city council made extensive repairs, and dozens of new restaurants, clubs and trendy shops were opened. Many young people moved into the area. Cars were banned (except for residents and emergency vehicles).

  • A tray of sardines fry on an outdoor grill in the Bairro Alto district - or Upper City - the oldest of Lisbon's residential quarters. We see in detail 16 fish (sardinhas assadas in Portuguese) all lying in the sunlight on their sides in neat, parralel rows with their clouded eyes staring up towards the viewer. They still have their silvery, scaley skin and Portuguese sardines are traditionally be served with finely-chopped potatoes, considered to be the sweetest and fattest sardines in the world. In Portugal, more than 60 percent of the national sardine catch is consumed fresh: 12 pounds a person, on average, compared to only 2 pounds of the fish canned. The sardine season - when the fish are plump and juicy - lasts from the end of May to the end of October, although the fat fish can keep coming until December.
