LOS ANGELES– California has the largest number of Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs) in the country, sees the most human trafficking cases among the 50 states in the U.S., the National Human Trafficking Resource Center reported in 2014. Yet resources for API trafficking victims and survivors are limited.
In response, the Asian Pacific Policy & Planning Council (A3PCON) launched the Asian Pacific Islander Human Trafficking Task Force, which was officially announced on Wednesday, January 13, at the Thai Community Development Center (TCDC) in Los Angeles.
