act could not achieve its purpose representations have been received from state governments and voluntary organisations working with the victims of the trafficking, at several national and international fora, that the implementation of the act is hampered by the existence of certain provisions of the act, such as sections 8 and 20, which are the most commonly invoked provisions for any enforcement being done under the act these provisions are directed towards prosecution of the trafficked persons and result in further victimising the victim it is represented that instead of
