Victims of trafficking in the UK have won what anti-slavery campaigners have called a "significant victory" in the British High Court. Mary Hounga - who was taken to the UK as a child and used as a domestic worker - won her appeal case when judges ruled that she was eligible for compensation after being fired by the couple. Aidan Macquade, the director of Anti-slavery International, told Focus On Africa's Audrey Brown why this judgement was significant.
