“Child prostitution is the use of a child in sexual activities for remuneration or any other form of consideration.”[1] Where a third party “the pimp” serves as an intermediary between the exploiter and the abuser and the victim[2]. In Ukraine, children are often the victims of forced labor and other kind of sexual exploitations[3]. The riskiest group of prostitution is the one belonging to poor families, homeless children and orphans; the exposure of living on the streets without protection makes them the most vulnerable[4].
Ukraine experiences between 7000 to 8000 cases of sexual children exploitation per year 4; According to the IOM data, 10% of 1355 Ukrainian victims of trafficking were adolescents[5]. Although child prostitution in Ukraine is illegal, a retrospective inquiry of adults shows a 20% in women and a 10% of men who have experienced a sexual abuse by the age of 18[6]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sssptm (talk • contribs) 15:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

The themes of prostitution and sex trafficking has been prominent in the Ukrainian media over the past few years. The UEFA EURO 2012 was heavily linked with prostitution and sex tourism in the country,. There were efforts from the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and other political parties in favour of the legalization of prostitution in the lead up to the major sporting event,claiming that it would improve the prostitutes’ working conditions, avoiding sexual transmitted diseases, and creating a new source of tax revenue.[7]
FEMEN, the international movement of topless female activists, is an organization dedicated to feminism and sextremism. It was originated in Ukraine and was the subject of Australian documentary “Ukraine is not a brothel.” They objective is to seek for the extermination of prostitution associated with exploitation of women and to create awareness against the act.[8] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sssptm (talk • contribs) 15:06, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
