One of the areas of the world where trafficking is growing fastest is the former Soviet Union. Human trafficking from Ukraine, especially for sex work, is a serious and increasing problem for the country. Following a recent study by the International Organization of Migration (IOM), reference is now being made to 420,000 women having been trafficked out of the country in the last few years alone. The government of Ukraine has employed different strategies to address the issue of trafficking in people. By all means, strategies aimed at trafficking should focus on trafficking and the criminal nature of this activity and those involved in this conduct, rather than on the activity of the victims of trafficking, whose human rights should be assured. |
