You are stopping trafficking of those fleeing Ukraine

YOUR DONATIONS ARE PREVENTING EXPLOITATION

You have enabled us to disrupt social media channels commonly used by traffickers to recruit at-risk communities with highly specific, geotargeted prevention campaigns. These campaigns arm those who have fled Ukraine with information that enables them to assert and defend their own rights, identify risks of exploitation and connect with local organisations.

''AS A UKRAINIAN WOMAN WHO IS LEADING THIS PROJECT, I AM PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED IN THIS SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE CONTINUE OUR STRUGGLE, EVERY DAY AND WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO JOIN US.''

Ilona Oleksiuk, Ukraine Prevention Programme Officer

CASE STUDY

In October, a support organisation saw our campaign and contacted us about a young Ukrainian woman they believed was being exploited. Nataliya*, who fled Ukraine in search of safety with her daughter found accommodation and work sharing a caravan on an English farm through the government resettlement scheme in April 2022. They worked 12 hour days, with one weekend off/month. When Nataliya's daughter said she couldn't continue this strenuous labour, she was kicked out the caravan, and had to return to Ukraine in fear of homelessness. Nataliya was extremely frightened to leave and has no documents, national insurance number, hospital registration or knowledge about universal credit. She didn't have a work contract and understood the labour to be a requirement for her accommodation. Her only choice was to return to her destroyed city in Ukraine, or live on the streets. That's when STOP THE TRAFFIK was contacted for advice.

*Names have been changed.

"I contacted STOP THE TRAFFIK organization and two wonderful women who assessed the situation very quickly talked to Nataliya and contacted the local council. Thanks to their benevolence, perseverance and professionalism, this problem was solved within a few days. Now Nataliya is safe and protected by the laws of England. STOP THE TRAFFIK impressed me with their responsiveness, kindness, and ability to quickly and effectively come to the rescue. I am infinitely grateful to them for the difficult and much-needed mission to help people who are in trouble".
