affected daily by
the influence and
enterprise of
human trafficking in
Hawaii

dollar industry in
Hawaii. Every pimp
has often 10-20 girls,
which brings in
$2-3000 a night

honolulu are no longer
charging prostitutes
with prostitution, but
instead with sexual
assault, a much more
severe crime that
would cause them to
become sex offenders

7. “There are [at least]
about 150 brothels
on Oahu alone... For
each brothel, there
are between three to
15 girls, mostly from
Asia and some youth
victims”

8. "They don't fear law enforcement. They fear their
traffickers, who have sometimes controlled them
for years"

9. Influence on the
Community

10. “India and Thailand are the key
suppliers of illegal labor, sex slaves
and drugs”

11. Human trafficking creates thousands of
trapped women into criminals, brings
greater amounts of drugs and creates
more drug users; destroying lives and the
community.
