Abstract

Trafficking in persons by transporting women abroad for the purpose of sexual exploitation by means of deception, fraud, blackmail, by taking advantage of the victim’s vulnerable state, through threat or use of violence, as well as by taking advantage of the victim’s financial or other dependence on the offenders, is a form of gender-based violence against women. This study contains an analysis of all sentences of Ukrainian courts of first instance over a 5-year period - from 2016 to 2020 - in cases involving this category of crimes. The number of instances where women are transported abroad for the purpose of sexual exploitation by means of deception, fraud, blackmail, by taking advantage of the victim’s vulnerable state, through threat or use of violence, as well as by taking advantage of the victim’s financial or other dependence on the offenders is rising every year. In light of this, there exists an urgent need for a study that would provide a criminological profile of the perpetrators as well as suggest effective measures for combating such crimes.
