The Scelles Foundation of France released a world report on sexual exploitation. According to the survey, quoted by AFP, seven out of ten women in the Republic of Moldova, aged between 15 and 25, have had sex for money at least once.
“Prostitution has become one of the most bothersome industries at world level, reaching the number 40-42 million prostitutes, 90% of which work with a panderer,” the report shows.
“The reasons for the phenomenon are: poverty, war, family trouble. In Moldova for instance, which is a poor country, 70% of women sold themselves at least once,” Scelles president Yves Charpenel said.
Organized crime groups are the main beneficiaries of prostitution services, with annual profits estimated at 27.8 billion dollars, taking the third place after drug and weapon trafficking, the report also says.
Western Europe currently has between one and two million prostitutes, most of them clandestine immigrants forced into this job. Most of the victims are from the Balkans and Eastern Europe (Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Belarus), but also from Nigeria and the Dominican Republic.
Studiu: 70% dintre tinerele din Republica Moldova s-au prostituat cel putin o data
Fundatia Scelles, Franta, a prezentat raportul mondial privind exploatarea sexuala. Potrivit studiului, preluat de AFP, in Republica Moldova, sapte femei din zece, cu varste intre 15 si 25 de ani, s-au prostituat macar o data.
„Prostitutia a devenit una dintre cele mai deranjante industrii la nivel mondial, atingand cifra de 40 - 42 de milioane de prostituate, dintre care 90% depind de un proxenet”, reiese din raportul fundatiei.
„Motivele acestui fenomen sunt: saracia, razboiul, probleme de familie. In Republica Moldova, de exemplu, o tara saraca, 70% dintre femei s-au prostituat macar o data in viata”, precizeaza Yves Charpenel, presedintele Scelles.
Grupurile de crima organizata sunt beneficiarii primari ai serviciilor de prostitutie, cu profiturile anuale estimate la 27.8 miliarde dolari, ocupand al treia loc dupa traficul de droguri si arme, se mai noteaza in raportul mondial privind exploatarea sexuala.
Printre factorii care favorizeaza exploatarea sexuala se numara dezvolatarea turismului si deschiderea frontierelor, dar si accesul tot mai larg raspandit la Internet, una din cauzele pornografiei infantile.
In prezent, in Europa de vest exista intre 1 si 2 milioane de prostituate, cele mai multe dintre acestea fiind emigranti clandestini, obligati sa faca aceasta meserie.
Cele mai multe victime provin din Balcani si din Europa de Est. Printre tarile care se afla in topul furnizorilor de prostituate se numara Moldova, Romania, Ucraina, Belarus, dar si Nigeria si Republica Dominicana, anunta Organizatia Internationala pentru Migratii.
