<p>Living under Democrats’ rule could mean losing your basic rights and in times of a disaster, even facing the possibility of sexual slavery. You read that right as a new report has exposed the harrowing stories of the victims of the Biden administration’s neglect in the aftermath of the Lahaina fires in Hawaii in 2023.</p>



<p>A 50-page report titled “Equality in Flames: The Impact of the Lahaina Wildfire on Gender Equality and Filipino Women in HawaiÊ»i” was published in May 2025 by Tagnawa, a Filipino feminist disaster response organization on Maui and OÊ»ahu. Among other damaging effects the victims of the wildfires suffered, the report found the shocking revelation that one in six survivors had to trade sexual favors in order to get basic living needs – what the report called “survival sex”:</p>



<p><em>16% of Lahaina fire survivors surveyed have engaged in survival sex or sex acts in exchange for food, clothing, money, and housing after the fire. This may indicate an increase in commercial sexual exploitation post-disaster and warrants further research.</em></p>



<p>In one important way, as the report revealed, the Lahaina wildfire helped expose the otherwise intrafamilial child sexual abuse in the area. The destruction or damage of the family residences of these abusive parents/relatives by the fire broke their habitual cover of the abuse, as they were relocated during the disaster.</p>



<p>The authors of the report mentioned that they sent FEMA a formal request for an interview, which the agency acknowledged but did not follow with a response by the time of the completion of the report.</p>



<p>Responding to the Tagnawa report, Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) condemned the failure of the Biden administration in helping the fire victims of Hawaii and protecting them from such abuse. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called such incompetence and neglect of the Biden administration “unacceptable” and “un-American.” Her statement said:</p>



<p><em>“While American citizens from Hawaii to North Carolina suffered, Biden and Mayorkas used FEMA as a piggy bank, spending hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars to housing illegal aliens, including at the Roosevelt Hotel that served as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to shelter Laken Riley’s killer.”</em></p>



<p>The official DHS account on X posted the same message to the platform with slightly different phrasing.</p>

<p><em>The Gateway Pundit</em> noted that Hawaii Governor Josh Green has not yet addressed the Tagnawa report while he continues to promote the new “climate change tax” his administration just imposed on tourists visiting Hawaii.</p>



<p>British daily <em>The Guardian</em> is one of the very few popular media outlets that reported on the Tagnawa report and its findings. Mainstream media in the U.S. have so far ignored the story despite the DHS response to it on X, which has been viewed over 240 thousand times as of the time of this writing.</p>
