Susannah Cullinane reported that three women were rescued in London after being held captive for more than 30 years. The women were severely traumatized when found by the police. They had been used as slaves and domestic servants. As of November 22, 2013 the women were being tended to and kept in safety. The couple that was charged for capturing the women were released on bail (Cullinane, S.). This tip from the Freedom Charity has put the police in a serious investigation to find more victims of human trafficking in the area.

...own the main traffickers that are causing so much grief. The three different parts of human trafficking stated earlier, what exactly human trafficking is and where is it happening, how traffickers are able to do what they do, and who specifically the traffickers target are some of the main topics that the government as well as local and national organizations are researching in order to understand more about the traffickers and their victims. They can already pretty much pinpoint who the victims are and where they are coming from but one of the bigger problems is getting the victims the aid that they need. Most victims of human trafficking know nothing about the laws of where they have been trafficked so they do not know if it will be beneficial to contact the police because they think that they might end up in an even worse situation than they are in at the moment.
