Did you know that survivors of trafficking can be exposed to physical, sexual and/or psychological violence by their traffickers?
Trafficking survivors can experience harmful incidents that can affect their mental health such as:
• Getting injured in an accident on the way or at the destination
• Experiencing violence, threat and abuse from the trafficker
The quote in the image of this post is from a survivor who contacted us through our awareness campaign video. Launched in 2019, the video aimed to inform people about labour exploitation, their rights and how to get support. This campaign targeted Lithuanians in the UK and people in Lithuania who were considering travelling to the UK for work.
