. Now war crimes and crimes against humanity fill the news, political dialogue seems hopeless and 7 million refugees—approximately 90 percent or more of whom are women and children—have fled across the borders into Europe. Tragically, however, it’s rarely long in any armed conflict before we learn of the horrific sexual violence inflicted on women and girls. So stories have emerged from inside Ukraine of—often followed by murder. And outside Ukraine, although many countries are welcoming the refugees with needed relief, dangers await. Stories abound of Ukrainian girls and women being trafficked into the sex trade, lured in by men promising shelter and safety from the conflict.

Refugee Agency, are issuing warnings to women at the borders, sharing numbers for national hotlines and calling for government-led registries of refugees.
