A VICTIM of trafficking has been left “unemployed, dehumanised and penalised” as a result of the Home Office’s “astonishing” delay in deciding if she has leave to remain, a High Court judge has said.
The woman, known only as EOG, took legal action against the Home Office last year over its policy of excluding potential victims of trafficking from having discretionary leave to remain in Britain, while certified victims are granted such a right.
She came to Britain on a youth visa in 2017, but “fell under the domination of a man who abused her sexually and forced her into prostitution” in 2018, before she eventually managed to escape.
