Human Trafficking is one of the worldwide issues. In Hawaii, it is a big problem too. In my presentation, I suggested some possible solutions to stop it in this region.

1. SOLUTIONS TO STOP HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IN HAWAII
By Nasanbold Sukhbaatar

2. "In the vernacular of human trafficking, Hawaii is a source,
destination and transit location," says Nicholas Sensley, a
retired California police chief and a global expert on
sex trafficking.

3. Jessica Munoz, a nurse practitioner and anti-trafficking activist, shares the story of one who
was lured into prostitution four years ago, when she was 14.
At the time, the young girl, who was from a "good family", was in her first year in high school,
Munoz explains. At a mall in Waikiki, she met two men in their late 20s who promised her
fame and fortune.

4. They took her to an apartment, where she spent several days "hanging out" with them. They
gave her drugs and then her instructions: She had to go to Chinatown, wait on a street corner
and meet a client. Now, aged 18, she is still working as a prostitute, Munoz says.

5. Fact: "There are about 150 brothels on Oahu alone that we know about [not including those in
private homes]. For each brothel, there are between three to 15 girls, mostly from Asia and some
youth victims. This doesn't include the street prostitution and online scene.“ says Kathryn Xian,
the founder and head of Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery, an anti-trafficking pressure group.

6. I looked at what’s being done to stop human trafficking in other areas.
I found an organization named HEAL Trafficking, which is a united group of
multidisciplinary professionals dedicated to ending human trafficking and
supporting its survivors, from a public health perspective.

7. A thing that this organization focuses on is to care survivors recovering from mental and
physical illness.
You might think that when a trafficking victim escapes, their life is saved. In reality, though,
survival is much more complicated.

8. One of many organizations in Hawaii is PASS, which is the leading anti human trafficking
organization.
Since 2009, PASS has provided direct services to more than 140 trafficking survivors,
successfully advocated for the passage of 14 anti human trafficking state laws, and facilitated
hundreds of trainings for best response practices and lectures to raise public awareness.

9. PASS works holistically to combat human trafficking, building alliances with public interest legal
services, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), churches, non-profit community
organizations, domestic violence shelters, educational institutions, and law enforcement.

10. Raise public awareness by giving lectures
and workshops in public as well as using
social networks
Educate children in their young
Have a law which protects victims of human
trafficking, not accuse
