    "content": "“Victim” means any natural persons who individually or collectively have suffered harm including physical or mental injury, emotional suffering or economic loss and so on.” This means there are many people who have been suffering abuse of one kind or another, including economic exploitation. Those are now defined here as victims who can actually now find some recourse or a fall-back in this law which I would urge everybody in this House to support. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was also happy to find here that this law urges treatment of victims with dignity, which has been seriously missing in the way particular authorities tend to deal with victims. Some of those that have been given here like victims of rape, assault and et cetera go to report, maybe, to the administration authorities or the police and, instead of being encouraged and listened to, they are jeered or made fun of. This Bill will put a stop to things like those so that victims are actually encouraged and feel that they are receiving help.
