Anna, not her real name, was brought to Northern Ireland by a man who forced her into sex work.
A woman who was trafficked to Northern Ireland from eastern Europe and forced into sex work has said she now suffers from flashbacks, panic attacks and now lives every day in fear.
“I tried to run, I tried to escape but he said I must come to Northern Ireland or he would kill my children," Anna said. Anna is speaking out after a charity that supports survivors of human trafficking said it has seen a “massive increase in the number of referrals for support”."It was so hard and I did everything he asked of me as I was so frightened he would kill my children and my mother.”“I was working with a lot of men and all the money I made I gave to him," she said.Anna was eventually rescued by the Police Service of Northern Ireland after two years of abuse.
Flourish NI said that in the first 10 months of 2024 they experienced a 128% rise in referrals in comparison to the same period the previous year.
