Today somebody who works with sex trafficking victims told me about a woman who’s staying with her atm. She was trafficked when she was 12, and was a slave for 10 years. She’s been trafficked in 3 different countries. Her traffickers are trying to get her back, using social media posts etc. to try and trick others into helping them find her. She continuously fears for her safety. The biggest thing on her mind right now?
Whether or not the UK government is going to graciously allow her to stay, or deport her back to her ‘country of origin’. The country where she was originally trafficked from. The country she hasn’t seen since she was 10. The country where she has no family, friends, or support structure.
The Home Office still hasn’t made its decision yet. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the UKs immigration and refugee policy, then I don’t know what will.
