Abstract
In the second half of the 20th century the sex industry became a worldwide phenomenon. The annual illicit profits of criminal organizations involved in human trafficking are estimated by the United Nations at about seven billion dollars (Caldwell et al, 1997:42). Many countries, ranging from Asia to Africa, have gained a reputation for being involved in women trafficking. The Ukrainian Ministry of Interior, for instance, estimated that 400,000 Ukrainian women were trafficked in the past decade, according to figures from the International Organization for Migration. In the Baltic countries there is considerable trafficking from Lithuania.
