The Exploitation Of Ukrainian Refugees
Refugees, such as those currently facing displacement within Ukraine, are statistically more likely to fall victim to human trafficking and other human rights violations, such as forced labor. For example, a 2021 report from the United Nations stated that migrants account for more than half of trafficked persons in the world.
Displaced groups are some of the most vulnerable members of our society. Their desire for their family’s safety often overrides their instincts to protect themselves. For example, they may be looking for a safe passage out of their home country or work through which they can provide for their family – and traffickers can exploit this by offering them work or transportation only to hold this against them later.
The Labor Abuse Of Ukrainian Refugees.
Various instances have come to light detailing abuse faced by Ukrainian refugees in recent months. At the start of January, three tobacco factories in Logroño, Valencia, and Seville were closed –and many were arrested – after it was revealed that they were exploiting Ukrainian refugees through forced labor and poor working conditions. For example, many of the refugees working for the factories lived within the facility in cramped conditions. They were forced to work long hours and were not allowed to leave the facilities so they could remain undetected.
How Can We Help?
“When we are in a position to make a change, we must do so,” said Jon Purizhansky, CEO and Founder of Joblio.
As such, we must use the resources available to us to enact positive changes to ensure that refugees, such as those fleeing Ukraine, receive the support they need. This plight will take us closer to the fight to end human slavery, trafficking, and forced labor.
