- - - - Eastern Europe
        
        Eastern Europe is a large source of human trafficking victims. Poverty, weak and corrupt law enforcement come together to make Eastern Europe a center for human trafficking where large amounts of victims are sourced
        
        Ukraine
        
        Sourced from the Ukraine are an estimated 160,000 human trafficking victims since independence in 1991. The instability in the region caused by the conflict with Russia and a failing economy mean that law enforcement is weak and victims are vulnerable. Especially vulnerable are those in conflict zones, and the 1,300,000 displaced Ukrainians, who are targeted by traffickers. The poor economy (the second worst in Europe) means that there is desperation for work and/or a better life within Ukraine or overseas. This need for work makes exploitation easy for traffickers who will promise work and a better life.
      - Bangladesh
        
        Bangladesh and similar countries are taken advantage of by human traffickers. Poor families who are in desperate need for money to survive are extremely susceptible to human trafficking as they are more likely to take risks that lead to being trafficked. Previously Bangladesh has been a source country for child jockeys, of which there were estimated of between 5,000 and 40,000. Mothers were offered jobs in the United Arab Emirates but deported without their children. The children were then enslaved in the camel racing industry.
