Human Trafficking in Solomon Islands

A workshop organised by the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative attended by lawyers, police, Ports Authority officials and Government officials has been told that  “Human trafficking is real and it happens in the Solomon Islands,”

Sister Doreen told the workshop that the issue of human trafficking has been seen as a problem experienced only in other countries but Solomon Islanders must realise that it is happening in their country too.

She spoke about the situation in logging camps around the country particularly, the camp in Arosi, Makira/Ulawa Province. She said she had interviewed, witnessed and encountered human trafficking at the camp. Doreen said she had interviewed, witnessed, and encountered human trafficking at the camp; not only young girls, but young boys as well.

Sister Doreen Awaiasi is an a member of The Sisters of the Church,  an international body of women within the Anglican Communion, living under the gospel values of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience, desiring to be faithful to the traditions of the Religious Life while exploring new ways of expressing them and of living community life and ministry today.
