Trafficking of women for prostitution from Ukraine to prosperous destination countries occurs because of a network of organized crime groups, corrupt officials and NGO's, with the political connection being the destination countries contemplating the legalization of their demand for foreign women into their sex industry. This transnational trafficking of women for sexual exploitation can only stop if the source and destination countries counter their side of the strong political criminal nexus.
