The US State Department has released its annual “Trafficking in Humans Report” with Ukraine featuring on pages 373 - 375.
All in all - whilst it is possible to split hairs - as reasonably accurate as is possible given the broad brush strokes required for a brief national overview.
As I have written previously, an effect human trafficking policy works from the following priorities:
1. Prevention
2. Protection/Victim Support
3. Prosecution
If the current Ukrainian rating drop is related to a changing of policy, and thus due to a period of reorganisation, one hopes that the new policy will reflect and be funded as above.
No doubt we shall see in the 2014 report.
