find that according to the Organization for
Your Committees
Security and Co-operation in Europe Office of the Special
Representative and Coordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human
Beings, the United States military is consistently a substantial
contributor to fueling sex trafficking and sexual exploitation
through the practice of buying sex. Since 2018, the Hawaii State
Commission on the Status of Women has been leading state
government efforts to expose and address the connection between
the military and sex trafficking in Hawaii. However, the Hawaii
State Commission on the Status of Women does not have ready access
to data critical to implementing sex trafficking prevention. Your
Committees believe that the Hawaii State Commission on the Status
of Women can assist in developing an anti—trafficking response
that is gender transformative and victim—centered. This measure
seeks to address and reduce sex buying, sex trafficking, child
sexual abuse material consumption, and child sexual exploitations
in the State.
