Good morning to readers; #Kyiv remains in #Ukrainian hands.
During the war, human trafficking has become more common. #Ukrainians who flee the country for safety are more likely to be lured into danger.
Every day, Nelia takes calls from #survivors, guiding them to safety. https://www.counteroffensive.news/p/how-war-is-a-boon-to-traffickers
@timkmak That is what I have been wondering. Are there more traffick or are we being more aware of it now.
The phone rings in Nelia’s quiet apartment. She is never happy to hear it — the callers are almost always trapped in situations no one should have to endure.
#trafficking
“I’m in a truck and can’t escape because I’m naked.”
“I’m a disabled man stuck on someone else’s farm with no documents.”
Day after day, she hears #stories like this.
As a #psychologist for a human #trafficking prevention #hotline, Nelia Troychuk feels a sense of dread every time the phone rings. But each time it does, she steadies herself and focuses on helping.
The release of the Jeffrey #Epstein files in the U.S. revealed multiple links between the late sex offender’s network and #Ukraine, including contacts with modeling agencies, travel arrangements for #Ukrainian women, and real estate business dealings.
Russia’s full-scale invasion has only made Ukrainians even more vulnerable to human #trafficking since the period when #Epstein was active.
