At least five women who were abused by former Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed have been formally recognised by the Home Office as victims of modern slavery. Since then, at least four other women have received positive "conclusive grounds" decisions recognising them as victims of modern slavery, with more expected to follow, according to PA Media. When an individual receives a positive "conclusive grounds" decision through the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) - the UK's official framework for identifying victims of modern slavery - they are formally recognised as a victim. The Modern Slavery Act, which came into force in 2015, defines human trafficking as arranging or facilitating the travel of another person within a country or across borders for the purposes of that person being exploited. "Seeing it in writing that you were a victim of modern slavery and trafficking is very... it's really shocking to read," she told PA Media.
