MSNBC's Meredith Vieira goes inside the human trafficking and underground prostitution scene in the United States in “MSNBC Undercover: Sex Slaves in America,” which premiered Monday, Dec. 3 on MSNBC. One episode is about two Ukrainian "Work & Travel" students who looked forward to working in a restaraunt in Virginia Beach, VA but they were forced to work in the strip club in Detroit, MI. Here is a link to the video.
Unfortunately, the human trafficking is rampant in Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. It does not look like the government does anything to fight it.
some statistics: "According to a study conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), 110,000 Ukrainians have become the victims of human trafficking over the past 20 years, Chief of the IOM Mission in Ukraine Manfred Profazi has said."
