Summary
In January this year, a report on the actual extent of forced prostitution and human trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation in Germany during the 2006 World Cup Football was published by the German Federal Government in form of a report to the Council of the European Union. The corresponding survey was initiated by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and conducted by the Federal Criminal Police Office in all 16 federal-state criminal police offices and in 19 special counselling services/NGOs, with the aim of using the experience "as a basis for drawing up best practices in this matter in view of future events". The report describes all the measures that were taken prior to and during the World Cup by the (local) governments, by the police and by NGOs.
