This document discusses human trafficking in Hawaii. It notes that thousands of females are trafficked for sex in Hawaii each year according to estimates. There are about 150 brothels on Oahu alone. Human trafficking negatively impacts businesses by allowing traffickers to have lower costs and prices without paying taxes. Several organizations are working to combat human trafficking in Hawaii, including The Hawaii Reporter which investigated labor trafficking of over 1,000 farm workers from Laos. Reported cases of human trafficking in Hawaii increased 35% from 2015 to 2016 due to greater awareness.
