ATLEU has broken new ground by successfully bringing claims for compensation for victims of trafficking in the High Court. 

The government has set out new plans to tackle labour exploitation but we are concerned about the lack of detail in these proposals and in their explanation about why existing enforcement tools are not being used to full effect before new ones are introduced.

Ms Taiwo and Ms Onu were subjected to abuse and exploitation as domestic workers by their employers. The Court of Appeal concluded that they had both been mistreated because of their status as vulnerable migrant workers and the Supreme Court will now consider the issue in April 2016.

ATLEU are concerned that the Immigration Bill 2015 will make life much harder for people who are trying to escape and recover from exploitation so we have submitted evidence to the House of Commons committee.

ATLEU is calling for legal aid to be made available to victims so that others can hold their traffickers to account. 

In a ground-breaking judgment, the Employment Tribunal upheld numerous claims, including those for unpaid wages and religious and race discrimination, brought by an Indian woman of low caste kept in domestic servitude by her employers for four and a half years.
