The key difference is that the onus will now be on the trafficker—on his behaviour, not the victim's. Currently, in order to get a conviction you have to prove fear. In many cases of human trafficking, as I mentioned in the opening, the person being trafficked may not necessarily fear their trafficker. They may be convinced that it's a boyfriend. Sometimes, sadly, it's a family member, somebody they rely on. That, I think, is absurd. Why are we treating victims of human trafficking differently? Again, I brought up the absurd example of another crime: If I were stabbed, I wouldn't have to worry about proving fear.
