Arizona flunks sex-trafficking survey

The Phoenix Business Journal

Arizona received poor grades in a new study examining how U.S. states deal with the international trafficking of women and girls, including for prostitution and forced labor and servitude.

The poor marks come at the same time as a bill in the Arizona Legislature to toughen child prostitution penalties has been stalled by Republican lawmakers.

The Center for Women Policy Issues gives Arizona failing grades when it comes to protecting trafficking victims; regulating international marriage brokers (i.e. mail-order brides) and regulating travel agencies that promote or facilitate sexually oriented tourism.
