The Sex-Trafficking of Ukraine’s Girls

Sex trafficking, which ranks only behind narcotics and weapons trafficking in profitability, has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukraine's citizens.

Nov. 2, 2023

As millions of Ukrainian women and children fled Russia's full-scale invasion, packs of sex traffickers descended on the besieged nation's borders to "grab" women and children.

Sex trafficking, which ranks only behind narcotics and weapons trafficking in profitability, has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukraine's citizens.

Famed Canadian journalist Viktor Malarek, author of The Nataschas, profiled the Eastern bloc's sex trade black market, describing how unsuspecting young girls are lured by the promise of legitimate employment before being stripped of their identities and sold as sex slaves under threat of torture and death, in a call to action that also reveals corruption within the groups that would help victims.

In a powerful interview, Malarek describes the horrors - the "den of hell" - in which some of Ukraine's women have been entangled.
