Sexual Exploitation

Solomons Islanders being sexually exploited by loggers

WorldFish published the report, titled 'From happy hour to hungry hour', which looked at the impacts of logging on food security, fisheries and well-being in Malaita.

It found in almost all cases, loggers provided monetary or food support for locals until their contract was up.

WorldFish Solomon Islands spokesperson, Delvene Boso, said the report also showed girls as young as 12 were being exploited.
