Trafficking rings are notoriously active in and around Ukraine - and the fog of war is perfect cover.
Five weeks into Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, imagine for a moment what it's like to live there now.
The chaos of war is now behind them, but the truth is, they're not entirely safe outside Ukraine either. Many youngsters were travelling out of Ukraine unaccompanied, she said. Patchy registration processes in Poland and other border regions - especially at the start of the war - meant children disappeared, their current whereabouts unknown.At a train station, well known for refugee arrivals, we found a hive of activity. Dazed-looking women and crying children were all around.
But as we find out from a number of sources, other ill-intentioned individuals are now posing as high-vis-wearing volunteers. "Those women have been through so much already, walking or driving their way through a war zone and then they are exposed to fear and exploitation here? I have no words for what that must be like," she says.
Most we spoke to hoped to go home as soon as the violence ends. But over the next days, weeks, even months, they need somewhere to sleep, to eat, to send their children to school, as well as a job to properly support themselves.EU leaders have unanimously approved a measure to open up the job market, schools and access to health care for Ukrainians, but as human rights groups point out, refugees need help to get registered and be informed of their rights.
We found a post on social media from a Ukrainian woman who fled to Düsseldorf in Germany. The man who offered her a room confiscated her ID papers and demanded she clean his house for free. He then started to make sexual advances as well. She refused - and he kicked her out on the street.
