In Moldova, a former soviet state now the poorest country in Europe, people -- especially women and girls -- are attracted by the prospect of a well-paid job abroad as a domestic servant, waitress or baby-sitter. Traffickers recruit victims through fake advertisements, mail-order bride catalogues and casual acquaintances. Upon arrival at their destination, victims' documents are usually taken away and they end up exploited, forced to pay off alleged debts under the threat of violence. Many are then coerced into bonded labour, often including sexual exploitation. Three victims, one Romanian, one Ukrainian and one Moldovan, rescued by the police, recall their plight. Trafficking in human beings is not confined to the sex industry. Romanian children are trafficked to European cities such as Vienna where they are taught how to beg and steal. Whether it's children or adults, deep poverty in countries like Moldova and certain parts of Romania drives people into the hands of organised criminals.
