As a campaign against human trafficking starts in the region one woman tells us her moving story about her fight for survival.

The woman, whose identity we're protecting, came to the North West from Africa and was forced to work as a sex slave for 10 years.

She speaks out as Greater Manchester Police launch a new modern slavery unit.

Three years ago in 2012, there were only two slavery crimes reported in the area - this year that figure is more than one hundred.

The Salvation Army has 24/7 referral line to call if you or someone you are in contact with is possibly victim of trafficking so they can be given support.
