Non-domination enables equal eye-to-eye standing that non-interference cannot guarantee.
Evidence
While someone’s freedom as non-interference may be at a maximum in a situation where they have to recognize that they are vulnerable to the whim of another, and have an inferior social status to that other, the enjoyment of freedom as non-domination goes with the possibility of their seeing themselves as non-vulnerable in that way and as possessed of a comparable social standing with the other. They can look the other in the eye; they do not have to bow and scrape. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 428
