EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Act 564 of the 2014 Louisiana Legislature requires the development of an annual statistical report on humantrafficking in Louisiana. The report is to be submitted to the Legislature by the Department of Children and Family

Services (DCFS). DCFS developed a list of 56 Human Trafficking providers in Louisiana and contacted them to

report information on human trafficking victims that they served. An Excel spreadsheet was developed with

instructions and sent to each of the providers. A website was developed with the assistance of Louisiana State Police

for providers to securely enter their data, for those agencies wishing to use the website. A total of 13 agencies

provided data for this report. Providers reported a total of 357 confirmed and prospective victims. Of the victims

identified, 289 (81%) were sexual trafficking victims, 64 (18%) were labor trafficking victims, 3 victims were not

reported as to type, and 1 was a victim of both labor and sexual trafficking. Of the sexual trafficking victims, 104

(36%) were identified as juveniles. Juvenile victims of trafficking were most frequently associated with Caddo, East

Baton Rouge and Orleans parishes as the identified parishes for both trafficking and rescue. East Baton Rouge,

Caddo, Jefferson and Orleans parishes have the largest number of adult victims. Of the victims reported, 86% were

female, 11% male, 2% not reported and 1% Transgender. The most frequently provided services were Referral to

Community Resources, Health Care, Mental Health, Education, and Housing. The age range of Sexual Trafficking

victims was from 7-58. There were 5 sexual trafficking victims age 12 and under. Ages ranged from 31-65 for Labor

Trafficking victims.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF ACT 564

Act 564 requires the development of an annual statistical report on human trafficking in Louisiana. The report is to besubmitted to the Legislature by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) by the first of February ofeach year with the following information:

1. Juveni le Safe House

Each safe house operating under a contract with the department to provide services to sexually exploitedchildren pursuant to the provisions of this Article (Article 725.2.B. Louisiana Children’s Code)

2. Each Private Entity That Provides Services To Victims Under the Human Trafficking Services Planfor: Juveniles ( RS:46:2161) Adul ts (RS:46:2161)

Each private entity that provides services to human trafficking victims, adult or juvenile victims, under aHuman Trafficking Victims Services Plan, shall submit to the department an annual report on theiroperations including information on:

• The services offered• Geographic areas served

• Number of children (or adults) served• Individual status updates on each child served

This information shall not include the name, address, or other identifying information of the child (or adults) served.

There were no state funds allocated to conduct this study.

ESTABLISHMENT OF DATA COLLECTION PROCESS

In July 2014 the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) began the development of the StatisticalReport on Human Trafficking by identifying agencies that were providing services to adult or juvenile humant ffi ki i ti DCFS i t t dA t 564 t d t f th i i i A t 564d fi

Two categories of victims were created to address the different types of clients served by the providers. Onecategory is Confirmed Victims. These are victims who state they are victims, they are confirmed by law enforcement

as involved in human trafficking, or they have received services as a victim of human trafficking. The other categoryis Prospective Victim. These are individuals who are suspected or at risk of being trafficked who are located in anarea known to be involved with human trafficking, or have been referred to a helpline or service agency, but have notbeen confirmed as a human trafficking victim.

IDENTIFICATION OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING SERVICE PROVIDERS

In August 2014, DCFS organized a meeting with representatives of human trafficking organizations that serve the

Metropolitan New Orleans and Baton Rouge areas which included: Eden House, Baptist Friendship House, NewOrleans Dream Center, and Healing Place-Serve. The meeting resulted in the identification of human traffickingorganizations in Louisiana from which data on services would be requested. A second meeting was held in BatonRouge in 2014 with additional providers, including: Trafficking Hope, Sexual Trauma Awareness & Response (STARin Baton Rouge), Hearts of Hope Child Advocacy Center (Lafayette), and Unashamed Love. As a result of thismeeting the Louisiana network of Child Advocacy and Sexual Assault Centers were also identified as agencies fromwhich to request data on human trafficking.

DCFS contacted the National Human Trafficking Resource Center (Polaris Project) for information about its list ofLouisiana human trafficking service providers. The intent was to have as inclusive a list of providers as possible. Thelist was obtained and the additional organizations were added to the database of Louisiana Human Traffickingproviders. The Resource Center also agreed to assist DCFS Centralized Intake with calls involving human traffickingof adults.

In 2015 a meeting was held with the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCADV), which represents thedomestic violence shelters in Louisiana, and Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault (LAFASA), whichrepresents the sexual assault centers in Louisiana. Sexual assault centers were already part of the list of providers in

the CY 2014 submission of data. However, as a result of this meeting, the domestic violence shelters were added tothe list of providers to receive a request for data for the CY 2015 report.


6/33

Because some sexual assault centers in Louisiana receive such funding, this provider interpreted Federal law asprohibiting the provision of client level data, even though the DCFS request was for de-identified data. The provider

opted to send a short summary of aggregate data on clients served. A second provider who expressed similarreservations about providing the requested data chose to not submit any data.

In the above mentioned meeting in 2015 with LCADV and LAFASA, the issue of conflict with Federal law was againcited as a problem for providing case level data. Consequently, DCFS initiated discussions with the Federal Office onTrafficking in Persons/ Health and Human Services about issues with data gathering and conflict with Federal law.The Federal Office on Trafficking in Persons had also experienced issues in other states with gathering similar data.

As a result of DCFS’ experience in attempting to gathering data from a variety of service providers, the Departmenthas been asked to participate on a national workgroup to work on data gathering in human trafficking.

RESULTS

Client level data was received from 13 agencies including DCFS. Providers submitted data for 357 Confirmed andProspective victims of human trafficking. Provider data included actual or estimated age of victims at the time ofprogram entry. Victims were grouped into three age categories: 17 and Under; 18 and Older; and Age Unknown. Act564 requested from providers a list of the Services provided and Parishes Served. Appendix E is a listing of the

providers, parishes served and the services provided.

APPENDIX D: Federal Laws Related to Human Traffick ing

Mann Act, 18 U.S.C.A. § 2421

The White Slave Traffic Act, better known as the Mann Act, was enacted in 1910 as a prohibition against whiteslavery and the interstate transportation of women for “immoral purposes.” Since then, the Act’s definition oftransportation has been modified and more protections for minors have been added.

While not enacted specifically to deal with human trafficking, the Act makes it a felony to knowingly transport anyperson in interstate or foreign commerce for prostitution, or for any sexual activity for which a person can be chargedwith a criminal offense. A person also violates the Act if he persuades, induces, entices, or coerces an individual totravel across state lines to engage in prostitution or other immoral purposes, or attempts to do so. This law isfrequently used as an effective tool to prosecute sex traffickers.

Penalties for knowingly persuading or coercing someone to cross state lines for the purpose of engaging inprostitution include a fine or up to 20 years in prison. However, if it is a minor who is being enticed to engage inprostitution, the penalty is ten years to life.

Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Famil ies Act of 2014 (PL 113-183)

Protecting Children and Youth at Risk of Sex Trafficking: The new legislation addresses the identification andprotection of children and youth at risk of sex trafficking.

States must develop policies and procedures to identify, document, screen and determine appropriate servicesfor children under the child welfare agency’s care and supervision, who are victims of, or at risk of, sextrafficking. States, at their option, may develop these policies and procedures for all young adults under 26regardless of foster care involvement. Effective within one year of enactment.

State child welfare agencies must immediately report children in their care identified as sex trafficking victims tolaw enforcement. Effective within two years of enactment.

State child welfare agencies must report the numbers of children in their care identified as sex trafficking victims


21/33

vulnerable children and youth and to make recommendations for administrative and legislative changes. Effectivewithin two years of enactment.

Traffick ing Vict ims Prevention Act (TVPA) 2000

The TVPA, enacted October 28, 2000, was the first comprehensive federal law to address trafficking. This Actincorporated a two-tiered definition of trafficking which included severe forms of trafficking in persons and sextrafficking. The law provided a three pronged approach for combating trafficking: prevention through publicawareness programs overseas and a State Department run monitoring/sanctions program; protection for victimsthrough visa opportunities and services for foreign national victims; and prosecution through new federal crimes.

Provisions in the Act included:

• $95 million, over the course of two years, for the enforcement of anti-trafficking provisions as newassistance programs.

• The requirement of annual reports on trafficking as part of the State Department Country reports on HumanRights.

• The creation of an Inter-agency Task Force to monitor and combat trafficking, which would facilitate andevaluate progress in trafficking prevention, victims assistance, and the prosecution of traffickers.

•

The authorization of grants for shelters and rehabilitation programs.• Relief from deportation for victims who face retribution or other hardship if removed from the U.S. through

the creation of the T Visa and the temporary legal status of “continued presence.”• The creation of new crimes of forced labor (18 U.S.C. § 1589); trafficking with respect to peonage slavery,

involuntary servitude, or forced labor (18 U.S.C § 1590); sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion or sextrafficking of children(18 U.S.C § 1591); and unlawful conduct with documents in furtherance of trafficking(18 U.S.C. § 1592).

• Severe punishments, including up to life imprisonment, and the possibility of severe economic sanctions forpeople convicted of operating trafficking enterprises within the U.S.
