In 2010 IOM has seen an increase in the number of identified victims of trafficking (VoTs): from 773 in 2009 to
1,085 in 2010.
A continuing trend observed by IOM in 2010 was the increase of sexual violence and sexual exploitation against
female victims of labour exploitation.
IOM observed that persons who lost their jobs or significant parts of their income as a result of the global economic
crisis were particularly vulnerable to trafficking in 2010. The lack of perspectives for re-employment at home forced
them to seek work abroad. Older women, who re-enter the labour market after years of childcare, are increasingly
at risk for labour exploitation.

In 2010 IOM has seen an increase in the number of identified victims of trafficking (VoTs): from 773 in 2009 to
1,085 in 2010.
2010 saw a dramatic increase in the number of identified child VoTs, an outcome of intensive capacity building and
networking efforts for state shelters for children, orphanages, boarding schools, and juvenile detention facilities.
123 minors were identified as VoTs in 2010 (compared to 47 in 2009), 60% of them are girls. 47% of child VoTs
were exploited in forced begging, 33% for commercial sex and 12% in forced labour. Most minors were exploited
within Ukraine (65%) and in the Russian Federation (31 %), either sold or handed over to traffickers by their own
parents/guardians. Street children were occasionally recruited and exploited by their peers.
