Human trafficking is a significant problem in Hawaii. Several industries, including commercial fishing and sex trafficking, exploit vulnerable workers. In commercial fishing, slaves from Southeast Asia are forced to work long hours with little pay and live in poor conditions. They have their passports taken and cannot leave. Sex trafficking is also widespread, with an estimated thousands of girls and women trafficked into Hawaii's 150 brothels each year. Agricultural workers, including those tricked into coming to Hawaii on fraudulent visas, also face abuse, poor treatment, and trafficking. Hawaii has weak anti-trafficking laws that do little to protect victims or prosecute abusers.
