Fight human trafficking, Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery seeks support

Hawaii Independent Staff

2010 saw former Gov. Linda Lingle veto what would have been Hawaii’s first anti-human-trafficking law. 2010 also saw Hawaii implicated in two labor-trafficking cases, one of which (Global Horizons) is the largest labor-trafficking case in U.S. history involving 400 Thai victims.

Hawaii is now one of five states in the nation with no local law defining human trafficking and according to federal social workers is one of the worst states in the nation for child sex-trafficking.

The mission of Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery (PASS) is to provide services and advocacy for survivors of human trafficking. PASS also provides education and training, public awareness, and legislative advocacy for the greater community to prevent the rise of human trafficking in Hawaii, all through volunteers.

Donors can help the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization by making a tax-deductible contribution. No amount is too small in helping to reunite a victim with her or his family; provide shelter, food, clothing, education, and healing for victims; and educate the community about ways to prevent human trafficking in neighborhoods statewide.
