A woman referred to as Emma, 23, (not real name), a trafficking victim who was forced in to prostitution around Europe after being groomed in to believing she was going to be model, who has spoken of her relief at finding refuge in a UK safe house, July 31, 2015

TRAFFICKING victims are unlikely to receive the compensation they are entitled to, a new report has revealed.

Research by After Exploitation, which campaigns against modern slavery, found that in the first six months of last year, 23 victims of trafficking who applied for compensation were turned down by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA).

Between zero and five were successful, but the precise figure was redacted in data obtained from CICA.
