Human traffickers exploit desperation of Ukrainian refugees and their children

Over 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees have sought refuge in the EU, with Poland hosting a significant number. Despite a warm welcome and access to social benefits, the influx of women and children has led to increased risks of sexual and labor exploitation. Elzbieta Jarmulska's initiative, Women Take the Wheel, provides safe transportation to avoid reliance on male strangers.
