  6. FACTS on Human Trafficking • Estimated over 27 million slaves today in the world -80%  are woman and children • US. Trafficking in Person Report 2010 by the Dept of State • Some say profits are more than drug trafficking • 80% is sexual exploitation and 20% is labor exploitation

  7. Hong Kong The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People’s Republic of China is a destination and transit territory for men and women from mainland China, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, some of whom are subjected to trafficking in persons, specifically conditions of domestic servitude and forced prostitution. Lured to leave with empty promises and often face high levels of indebtedness/debt bondage

  8. Suggestions by the US Dept of State • Significantly increase efforts to integrate trafficking in persons concerns into investigations of illegal immigration and labor violations to increase trafficking prosecutions • Investigate and criminally prosecute Hong Kong employment agencies cooperating with foreign recruitment agencies who require domestic workers to assume significant amounts of debt;  • Define the term “trafficking in persons” in Hong Kong law in a manner that is consistent with international norms

  9. Suggestions by the US Dept of State (cont’d) • Strengthen implementation of victim identification procedures for identifying trafficking victims among vulnerable groups to identify a greater number of sex and labor trafficking victims; • Provide incentives for foreign workers to pursue cases against abusive employers
