Teen prostitution in Ukraine

Published

on



Ukraine June 1 marks Children’s Day. However, an alarming number of teenage girls, many escaping problems at home, have turned to prostitution. Around 11-15 thousand according to UNICEF.

The country is also suffering from one of the worst AIDS epidemics in Europe. Teen prostitutes are extremely vulnerable to HIV due to lack of knowledge or access to methods of prevention.

In the Mykolaiv region of Southern Ukraine, the death rate from HIV infection in the 15-24 age group is one of the highest in the country.

Seventeen-year-old Nataliya explains how she first got involved in sex work.

“My friend has been doing it for 7 years, she told me I could do it too. At first I didn’t want to. Now I have enough money. I can help my mom. She doesn’t know what I do, not even my friends know,” she confides.

Nataliya hopes to go on to study medicine, but Yuliya has no plans to quit.

“There aren’t so many opportunities to make money in our city. What I do really helps me and I’m OK with it. I also like the fact that now I have someone to ask for advice, to talk to and even listen to that advice in certain situations. But one of the most important things is that I can check my health regularly and talk to a psychologist,” she notes.

In Mykolaiv, the UNITUS charity works alongside UNICEF to provide healthcare, social services and psychological help to young people at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.

Out of 350 female clients, most have been tested. Up to 10 per cent have the virus.

“One of the biggest problems is an extremely low level of knowledge and understanding of how HIV is transmitted. And even if people know it, they still do not regard this risk important,” says Olena Sakovych from UNICEF.

This mobile HIV testing unit can find women most at risk on the streets and provide them with advice and access to a psychologist.

Studies show that use of mobile units can reduce the numbers infected.

A nurse carrying out an HIV test tells the teenage prostitute:

“When accidents happen and the condom breaks, you have to get a check-up.”

    This lack of morals, law & policing is one of the reasons why people in European countries where prostitution is illegal (i.e. Norway & Sweden) vote for parties which seek to block immigration which can include criminals or people which become criminals later on. It's logical they go to places which have legal prostitution i.e. Holland and Las Vegas, Nevada… however Russian & Ukrainian prostitutes are arrested in Sweden all the time, I saw them being hand-cuffed once on a train.

    Also in countries where prostitution is illegal & enforced by police, it's better, i.e. it's easier to pick up girls since everything is natural (example).

    This is what happens when you don't create opportunities of better employment and higher salaries, people result to doing any means necessary such as this in order to survive which is sad.

Syrian soldiers defect as military detains hundreds

Published

on



More and more Syrians are fleeing across the border into Turkey as Syrian troops advance through the northern and western regions of the country.

Witnesses claim the army is rounding up hundreds of people as they sweep through towns and villages where anti-government protests have been held.

But not all Syrian soldiers agree – one apparent conscript has joined the exodus across the border.

“I saw all the wounded and the dead,” he said. “I offered my help to bring the wounded in cars to the other side of the border into Turkey.”
