Objects and Reasons
The objects and reasons of this Bill are to provide for harsher penalties and fines against human traffickers, whilst introducing new offences, such as that of knowingly making use of the services of a trafficked person. These amendments, in so doing, seek to discourage both the commission of human trafficking as well as the use of the service of a trafficked person.
