When Halimot Ogunnaike was taken from Nigeria and forced into prostitution on the streets of Italy, she  says she “didn’t know what was happening to me was bad”. Partly, this was because she was just nine years old. But it was also because she’d “seen it happening to so many others, I thought it was normal. I didn’t realise it was trafficking or modern slavery.”

After a few years in Italy and then Spain, Ogunnaike was trafficked to the UK when she was nearly 16, but escaped on the day she arrived. She subsequently experienced periods of homelessness where she slept “in churches, on the bus, on the train, many times on the street”. Even today, she says, she is “still looking back [over my shoulder], but I’m done running, because they have already taken part of my life”.
