Four Al-Fayed survivors told they were trafficking victims
Women alleging abuse by late Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed were confirmed as human trafficking victims by the UK ministry.
Four women who allege abuse by the late Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed have been recognized as victims of human trafficking by the UK's interior ministry. The women, who use pseudonyms Isabella, Justine, Elizabeth, and Margo, founded the No One Above advocacy group and have been identified through the National Referral Mechanism, Britain's official framework to support victims of human trafficking and modern slavery.
Their experiences, spanning from the 1990s to after 2010, include allegations of assault, rape, and trafficking, both international and domestic. The recognition comes after they were referred to the NRM by the Unseen UK charity. This marks the confirmation of a fifth victim, Rachael Louw, who was previously reported by the BBC to have been abused by Fayed and his brother Salah in the UK and France.
