Trafficking of Ukrainian Women – Donna Hughes Comments On Her 2001 Research

Trafficking of Ukrainian Women – Donna Hughes Comments On Her 2001 Research “Although this study was conducted a number of years ago, the same criminal dynamics operate to entrap women and girls (and sometimes boys) in sexual exploitation. I visited Ukraine a number of times to do this research. I visited many of the cities that are now being shelled. I walked through the famous squares and passed many of the buildings. My heart breaks every day as I see the destruction. I see so many women and children fleeing on their own or in small family groups, which makes them so vulnerable to pimps. I hope the Ukrainians and their allies can quickly bring this war to an end. Everyone should have freedom and security.” Donna Hughes, Ph.D., March 11, 2022
