Modern slavery: British activists demand action

In 2018, more than 500 suspected victims of trafficking were held in UK detention centres, according to a recent report.

Campaigners against people trafficking in Britain are accusing government organisations of failing to protect victims.

They say hundreds of exploited workers are ending up in jail when they should be in hospital being treated for torture injuries.

Al Jazeera’s Emma Hayward has been meeting some of the many victims of slavery.
