Purpose of the Crime
The purpose of trafficking is always exploitation, and it can occur
over an indefinite period of time.
NZ Government response
The New Zealand Government has a comprehensive, whole-of-government response to people trafficking.
Consent and victimisation
The consent of a trafficked person is not relevant to the crime because of the
coercive, deceptive, or abusive actions of the trafficker.
