Will Mo Farah’s story help other victims of human trafficking?

from In The News

Last week, British athlete Mo Farah revealed he was illegally trafficked into the UK at the age of nine. Flown over from Djibouti, he was given the name Mohamed Farah and forced to work as a domestic servant. Sharing his story in a BBC documentary this week, the olympic champion has put the spotlight firmly on the global issue of human trafficking. What impact will his revelations have on helping other victims come forward and how difficult is it to secure prosecutions against traffickers? Sorcha Pollak speaks to Sally Hayden, who reports from Africa for The Irish Times and Senior Counsel Fiona Murphy to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
