TENS of thousands of people have supported proposals for new human trafficking laws in Scotland.
Labour MSP Jenny Marra, who is behind the plan, said politicians cannot ignore the 45,000 people from Scotland and beyond who got in touch.
Ms Marra's proposed Human Trafficking Bill, launched last year, aims to make it illegal to punish people forced to commit crime as a result of their trafficking.
It calls for a survivors service for victims.
