The Department of Public Health and Social Services mandates STI testing massage parlour workers[3] HistoryWhen the island was discovered by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the indigenous Chamorros already practised prostitution and regarded it as a prestigious occupation.[1] During the Japanese occupation of Guam in WW2, some local Chamorro women were forced to work in the Japanese military brothels set up on the island (I Tiempon Chapones)[4] along with the Japanese and Korean woman the Japanese had brought there. After the American liberation of Guam, a number of brothels were set up to serve the American servicemen.[5] The establishment of US bases on the island after the islands were liberated in WW2, increased the demand for prostitution.[1] Red-light districtThe tourist area of the Tumon district of Tamuning the island's de facto red-light district. There are many massage parlours, 75% opening 24 hours a day.[10] There have been ongoing discussions about establishing a legitimate red-light district since 2006.[1] A Bill was introduced to the Legislature in 2010 by vice-speaker Benjamin Cruz.[1] It proposed re-zoning Tumon and having all the adult entertainment establishment in one designated area.[6] The Bill did not pass into law.[1] Sex traffickingSex trafficking is a problem on the island,[7] although due to poor reporting the extent is not fully known.[8]In 2012, a 70-year-old female was sentenced to life imprisonment for sex trafficking. She owned the "Blue House" karaoke bar where women were trafficked to from Chuuk in Micronesia. The women were promised employment in restaurants or stores but on arrival were forced to work as prostitutes.[9] The manageress of the bar and 2 police officers also faced charges for their involvement. A third police officer disciplined by the police department.[10] It has been suggested that lax policies on massage parlours contributes to sex trafficking.[11] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url= https://www.uog.edu/sites/default/files/posmanick-cooper-rustick-trafficking.pdf |title= An Analysis of Human Trafficking Indicators on Guam |last= Posmanick-Cooper |first= Lindsey |last2= Rustick |first2= Holly M. |date= 2015 |website= |publisher= Outreach and Research Subcommittee, Guam Human Trafficking Task Force - Office of the U.S. Attorney for Guam and the Northern Marianas |access-date= 22 November 2017 |quote= }} 2. ^1 {{cite web |url= http://www.guamcourts.org/sor/Title/Title_9_Chap_28.pdf |title= GCA Crimes and Correction |last= |first= |date= |website= Guam Courts |publisher= |access-date= 22 November 2017 |quote= }} 3. ^{{cite web |url= http://exoticdocumentary.com/legal-info/ |title= Sex Work Legal Info |last= |first= |date= |website= Exotic Documentary |publisher= |access-date= 22 November 2017 |quote= }} 4. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.mvariety.com/cnmi/cnmi-news/editorials/82700-when-the-moon-waxes-not-so-comforting-apologies |title= When the Moon Waxes: Not-so-comforting apologies |last= Bevaqua |first= Michael Lujan |date= 31 December 2015 |website= Marianas Variety |publisher= |access-date= 22 November 2017 |quote= }} 5. ^{{cite book |last= Okihiro |first= Gary Y |date= 2015 |title= American History Unbound: Asians and Pacific Islanders |url= |location= |publisher= University of California Press |page= 369 |isbn= |author-link= }} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Guam's Red-Light Zoning Proposal: "Look at a map" How Will This Zoning Proposal Square with the US Military's Prohibition on Facilitating Human Trafficking?|url=http://www.kathryncramer.com/kathryn_cramer/2006/03/guams_zoning_pr.html|website=Kathryn Cramer|accessdate=5 February 2018}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=NGO in Guam warns human trafficking is a big problem|url=https://www.radionz.co.nz/international/programmes/datelinepacific/audio/20147726/ngo-in-guam-warns-human-trafficking-is-a-big-problem|website=Radio New Zealand|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en-nz|date=29 August 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Federal bill could greatly help Guam's human trafficking problem|url=http://www.kuam.com/story/35883769/2017/07/Friday/federal-bill-could-greatly-help-guams-human-trafficking-problem|website=Kuam News|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en|date=14 July 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Guam bar owner sentenced to life in prison for sex trafficking|url=https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/guam-bar-owner-sentenced-life-prison-sex-trafficking|publisher=US Immigration and Customs Enforcement|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en|date=20 September 2012}} 10. ^{{cite web|last1=Parinas|first1=Aisabel|title=Human and Sex Trafficking on Guam|url=https://prezi.com/lzk5rli5-sh2/human-and-sex-trafficking-on-guam/|website=Prezi|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en|date=19 May 2015}} 11. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Partido|first1=Gerry R.|title=Expert: Tighter policies on massage parlors can curb trafficking|url=https://www.postguam.com/news/local/expert-tighter-policies-on-massage-parlors-can-curb-trafficking/article_56a3ec88-dee2-11e6-9621-1f28aeab39ed.html|website=The Guam Daily Post|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en|date=22 January 2017}} External links
