- your article in wiki has a remark -
And for the "IOM report for the figure of 117 000 for Ukrainian prostitutes abroad" it is no link in it.
I tried to find reports of that in IOM dtd Dec 2006. It is that one -
http://www.childcentre.info/projects/traffickin/dbaFile13968.pdf
- and there are no figures for Ukraine at all - no 117 000 - nothing like that. Morever - I see that in Table 4 it is quite another figure of that sort -
The similar figure for Ukraine is in Table 14 - 15,570
And as you see in the
- Ukraine takes the last place among
Moldova Bulgaria Romania Belarus Ukraine - in that line
And this is another report dtd 2007 with interesting information of that sort for Ukrainian women -
It is that one - a UN office on Drugs and Crime
https://www.unodc.org/documents/publications/TiP_Europe_EN_LORES.pdf
As you see in the report - Fig.1 on page 2 - among the women trafficked for sexual exploatation the ones with Ukrainian citizenship take 5 place in that chart - after Romania, Russia, Bulgaria and even small Moldova.
And if to know that quantity of Ukrainian women going to Europe in search of work is at least 10 times more that women from Russia of that kind - it is obvious in which country the most part of women leaving their country for work abroad became prostitutes - and in which country most women choose a very different activity to earn money abroad.
I know that even without this article.
My sister lives more than 10 years in Rome, in Lido di Ostia. She is married to an Italian. And she knows wery vell the situation of the Ukrainians that are working in Italy, and often communicates with some of them.
On my question about Ukrainian prostitutes in Italy she said that prostitution never was the main occupation of Ukrainian women in Italy. Their main profession there is - badante. Care for the elderly and children. In that thing Ukrainian women there have a good reputation, and the majority of guest workers from Ukraine - most of them are women - are engaged in that. There are more thatn 300 thousand of Ukrainians working in Italy. They even created there trade union and publish their own newspaper.
The sister added that prostitution is the main profession of women that come to Italy from Russia to work - despite the fact that Russian women who came to the country to earn money are ten times less than the Ukrainian.
And she knows a number of examples when the women from Russia started as badante, after the first episode, when she earned extra money using her body, immediately changed profession.
It is well-known amont guestarbeiters in Italy - a well-known fact about Russian women. Although the vast majority of foreign prostitutes in Italy are not from Russia - they are Romanians and Nigerians, not Russians.
I think that your idea was to prove that Ukraine is a major source of prostitutes for abroad? I know that very many writers in inet from Russia try to say that. Unfortunately, your version conflicts with the real facts. And at the same time it exposes in a bad light the northern neighbor of Ukraine.
