"I knew I would be provided with food and accommodation in the UK, and would have to repay £27,000 to a Thai woman, but I was unsure as to how much that actually was."

How much is currency conversion contributing to the (innocent) ignorance of trafficked peoples?

A British Pound Sterling is approximately converted to 45 Thai Baht.

A dollar to 115 Japanese Yen.

A dollar to 60 Russian Rubles

So when someone from these nations see currency of a higher value, then the emotional reaction irt to high prices does not register.

Even if they know on a logical level that they need to do some math, they see a lower number and the emotional register is that it's a lower price.

In the US, we see this in stores all the time: Nothing is sold for $20.00; it's marked $19.99
