Kiev…is becoming notorious as a sex tourism mecca in Europe….However, the real issue lies on growing child prostitution and human trafficking…In fact, the rise of sex tourism led the growing industry of child prostitution and child pornography…human trafficking is another problem…Regardless of many harms done to prostituted Ukrainian women and children in Kiev, johns go unpunished aside from paying a nominal fine. One advocate mentions that the law enforcement is unlikely to enforce harsh penalties against prostitutes and johns because prostitution is controlled by organized criminals who have tight connection to political elites…whether what the advocate says is true or not, Ukraine, and perhaps the rest of the Europe, may already be going down the hill. According to one report by the U.S. National Institute of Health, with 60,000 prostitutes in the city, HIV epidemic in Ukraine is the highest among European countries.
