An employment court has vindicated six former Gloriavale women - who today won their employment court battle.
These women claimed they were exploited and treated like slaves while they worked on domestic tasks for the community, including preparing food, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry.
Their lawyer, Brian Henry, says there was a clear recipe for suppression and enslavement of women within the community.
"They were programmed from birth and they were doing this and they were only educated to stay there. That looks and sounds, to me, in my opinion, like slavery."
