The resolution highlights the significant problem of sex trafficking in Hawaii, noting a high number of potential buyers and a surge in demand for services during the pandemic, and points out that existing facilities are not adequate for immediate, emergency housing for young victims, emphasizing the need for a coordinated approach to protect these vulnerable children.
