A joint operation by Ukrainian and Slovak law enforcement officers stopped an attempt to smuggle two Ukrainian women for sexual exploitation. According to investigators, the offender looked for victims through job advertisements, using their financial difficulties. A total of five victims have been identified, including a 16-year-old girl.
Experts note that Slovakia is increasingly becoming a target country for human traffickers. Victims of exploitation can contact the National Helpline at 0800 800 818.
