Unlike almost all other refugees, but in common with those trafficked globally for purposes such as domestic slavery or forced labour, women trafficked for sexual exploitation are not necessarily safe once outside their country of origin. The unique nature of trafficking means that it is often only on arrival in another country that the danger becomes apparent. They may come from countries where they have experienced brutality at the hands of the police and live in fear of being caught by the police in the UK. Traffickers may threaten to kill their family members back home if they run away. If women are here illegally, they are worried about being caught and deported in which case they may either end up in a ‘revolving door’ situation where they will be re-trafficked. According to the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) ‘up to 50 per cent of those immediately repatriated are re-trafficked’.
