Sex traffickers are operating alone and in gangs to target vulnerable women refugees in Poland’s Medyka by offering them safe accommodation, gists and money.
Sex trafficking gangs are targeting Ukrainian refugee women who are entering Poland. The busiest crossing at Medyka has become a hub for trafficking gangs to hunt for young girls. Sex traffickers are operating alone and in gangs in the area and are approaching Ukrainian women with expensive gifts, money, and shelter. Unaccompanied female refugees are the primary target of traffickers and criminals offer safe accommodation and free transport to women, by acting as good Samaritans to lure women. Volunteers are warning refugees to not accept any gifts from unknown people and to not visit any place without an official announcement.
