Trafficking and Prostitution: The Growing Exploitation of Migrant Women from Central and Eastern Europe [antikvár]

FOREWORD After completing its first year of operations with the publication of six reports on transit migration, the IOM Migration Information Programme for Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS (MIP) started its second phase in 1995. The present study on Trafficking and Prostitution: The Growing Exploitation of Migrant Women from Central and Eastern Europe is the first in the MIP 1995 series. Others to follow include studies on Potential Migrants from Albania; Transit Migration in Turkey; Chinese Migration in Central and Eastern Europe; the Attitudes of Nationals of the Former Republic of Yugoslavia towards Return; and Russian Ethnic Population and Potential Migratory Flows in Latvia. These topics have been defined as priorities for study in coordination with governments and in line with IOM's planning and operational needs. MIP was created to make available to governments and other users current information on migration trends and potential flows of migrants. We hope this study contributes to the project's aim of helping improve understanding of general and specific migration issues, thereby furthering progress toward the definition of comprehensive institutional approaches so that disorderly migration can be dealt with more effectively.
