Exploring some of the issues around human trafficking!

1. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN HAWAII

2. Human Trafficking is a major issue for the
following reasons: people losing their freedom,
children abused, money loss in the economy

3. People are losing their freedom

4. Some 21 million victims worldwide
are trafficked for both sex and
labor, the report said. Throughout
America, victims are forced to work
in virtually every economic sector.

5. Some 1,000 workers from Laos were trafficked
to Oahu via a B-2 visitor visa scam over the
last decade, forced to work off their debt to
traffickers — as much as $25,000 each

6. Children being abused

7. The average age of a sex
trafficking recruit is twelve.

8. Girls as young as 11-years-old are
recruited from schools, beaches and
malls through a sophisticated network
of pimps and traffickers.
Once trapped by traffickers, victims are beaten, raped and
forced to work as prostitutes under the threat their families
will be killed if they try to run away

9. Economy, losing money

10. While human trafficking is highly profitable for traffickers,
reaping an estimated $150 billion annually, taxpayers and
legitimate businesses suffer as a result.

11. These aliens are smuggled into Hawaii for around $10,000
a person, and then forced to live in unsanitary conditions
on fishing vessels docked at Honolulu piers where they are
paid as little as $300 a month for full-time commercial
fishing work
