(introduction):
(Tier 2 Watch List)
Kiribati is a source country for girls subjected to sex trafficking.
Crew members on Korean and perhaps other foreign fishing
vessels in Kiribati or in its territorial waters exploit prostituted
children on board their vessels. Some girls also are prostituted in
bars frequented by crew members. Local I-Kiribati, sometimes
family members, but also taxi drivers and owners of small boats,
knowingly facilitate trafficking by transporting underage girls to the
boats for the purposes of prostitution. The girls generally received
cash, food, or goods in exchange for sexual services.
The Government of Kiribati does not fully comply with the
minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is
making significant efforts to do so. While the government worked
with UNICEF to begin a radio show on the commercial sexual
exploitation of children to raise public awareness of sex trafficking,
it made few other efforts. The government did not define labor or
sex trafficking offenses in Kiribati law, make any efforts to
proactively identify victims of trafficking or establish formal
procedures for the identification of trafficking victims and the
referring of these victims to protective services, investigate or
prosecute any suspected trafficking offenders, or work with NGOs
or international organizations to provide protective services to
victims. Additionally, authorities did not investigate or prosecute
foreign crewmen for the commercial sexual exploitation of children
within its territory, or identify or assist any victims of trafficking
during the year; therefore, Kiribati is placed on Tier 2 Watch List
for a second consecutive year.
