The Push Factors that Impact Sex Trafficking in the Former Soviet Union
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Sex trafficking is a global problem that has been denounced by the international community as a human rights abuse and determined to be a modern form of slavery. Through a comparative analysis of the experiences of Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine as they were a part of the Soviet Union the study identifies the push factors of sex trafficking in women as forced labor with particular emphasis on the role of weak legal systems and state institutions, corruption, social and economic factors, and environmental problems that are linked to organized crime (the Russian mafia) from 2001 to 2019. The thesis supports the hypothesis that sex trafficking can be effectively prevented through the establishment of good governance institutions and practices supported by international organizations.</p>
