The unsettling way the war in Ukraine could lead to human trafficking, by MitziPerdue
The war in Ukraine is not just a battleground; it is a hunting ground for human traffickers. The uprooting of many people and the creation of refugees make a war zone ideal for recruitment into human slavery.According to Michael O’Neill, former Chair of the International NGO Safety and Security Association, “The predators are well-organized, well-resourced, and relentless.” Defeating the traffickers, or at least slowing them down, depends on educating the refugees.
O’Neill advocates for raising awareness not only among refugees but also among NGOs. Both groups need to know about the dangers they face from traffickers.Frank Mezias shares O’Neill’s concerns. His perspective comes from being an American international business consultant married to a Ukrainian national. He’s an on-the-ground witness to the kinds of vulnerabilities O’Neill identifies.
Mezias realized the threat was real when one day he looked out the picture window of his home on the Black Sea. Five Russian warships were floating on the water in clear view of his living room.
