General Scheme of the Criminal Justice (Sexual Offences and Human Trafficking) Bill 2022: Discussion

One of the dispiriting things I have found with these data is where the victims were not prepared to come forward because life here was better than life elsewhere and they were facing the risk of death if they went home. That is the reality for a significant number of women who have been trafficked for sex purposes. Life here is better than it would be elsewhere-----
