Source
Countries for Trafficking
The following reports provide information about trafficking in
women from the perspective of the source country, or the country
of origin of the trafficking victim. These reports focus on source
countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in the Commonwealth
of Independent States (CIS). In some cases, the countries in this
region are source and destination countries or transit points for
trafficked women, and so it is also useful to review research into
the response of destination countries.
Research and reports on the problem of trafficking in women in specific
countries of the CEE and CIS region can be accessed on the country
pages of this site.
