The Ministry of Internal Affairs presented an algorithm of actions for persons whose relatives or acquaintances disappeared in EU countries
During the briefing at the Media Center Ukraine-Ukrinform, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Kateryna Pavlichenko presented the algorithm created by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in cooperation with the NPU and the SurGE project.
Tomorrow is World Day against Trafficking in Persons. Ukraine joins the active struggle against the treatment of man as a living commodity. Thus, today we are talking about the situation in one of the most lucrative areas of crime in the world, which arose with the total invasion of Russia,” the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted.
According to her, almost 9 million Ukrainians were displaced within and outside Ukraine after the start of the general war, of which:
- almost 6 million citizens registered abroad; - 3.7 million received temporary protected status in host countries.
“Ukrainians fleeing war risk becoming victims of human trafficking, as women and children make up 90% of refugees. To avoid these risks, we have developed a separate algorithm of actions for people whose relatives or uncontacted acquaintances could probably be trapped by human traffickers abroad,” said Kateryna Pavlichenko.
