People demonstrate outside the French National Assembly in December to abolish prostitution. The assembly has since passed a bill that would fine those who pay for sex. The placard reads: "France, the world is watching you, vote for the abolition of prostitution." France was rated as a Tier 1 country in the 2013 State Department report on sex trafficking; French authorities "estimate(s) that the majority of the 18,000 to 20,000 people in France's commercial sex trade -- which is dominated by women from Bulgaria, Romania, and Nigeria -- are likely trafficking victims," the report says.
