13. Kiev, Ukraine
Victims of human trafficking in Ukraine are subjected mostly to forced labor and sexual exploitation. As the report by the US Department of State indicates, “Ukrainian women and children are subjected to sex trafficking within the country.” Forced begging is not uncommon. The report further emphasizes that children who live in orphanages (approximately 82,000-200,000 of them) are especially vulnerable to becoming victims of human trafficking.
