Comfort came to the UK as a student from Nigeria thinking she was entering a marriage and finishing her schooling — but the schooling never materialised and it soon became clear the marriage was a sham and that she had been a victim of trafficking.
Aged 29 and entirely on her own in a new country, Comfort endured terrible abuse, suffered a breakdown in her mental health and tried to take her own life. She ended up in hospital two years later, in 2017, where a concerned nurse offered support in the form of a referral to a charity and Comfort took her first step in her journey towards safety.
