Meet the delegation of twenty Ukrainians comprised of leading government
officials, including representatives from police, justice and social services,
along with American law enforcement officials who are attending a Project Harmony
training program sponsored by United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Learn about what actions are being
taken to reverse the tide of one of the most pressing issues facing Ukraine
today: the trafficking of young Ukrainian women in sexual servitude.
A video presentation of the Global Survival Network’s
documentary film titled "Bought & Sold" (in English) will be
aired at 6pm sharp prior to the meeting with the delegation. The public is
invited to attend the screening of this most revealing investigation of the inner workings
of the networks that trade in young women from the Former Soviet Union countries.
A question and answer session follows the presentations and
concludes the meeting.

Hunter College and organized by BRAMA – Gateway Ukraine and the World Federation of
