Facilitating is making an action easy or easier. So by definition that's exactly what the Lifeboats are doing.
Again, I respectfully disagree. I don’t think they do make the traffickers job easier. The traffickers will load those boats up and send them off in the same number, regardless of the existence of the RNLI.
By the time the passengers are on their way, the traffickers have been paid and don’t care what happens to them.
Those bound for modern slavery would not reach that fate once rescued by the RNLI as they would go into safeguarded accommodation.
In short, I don’t believe the RNLI affects the traffickers operation one way or the other.
