During the seminar it has been stressed, that in the face of over 5 million people leaving Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion, specialized organizations (IOM, Europol, La Strada, Frontex) are recording signals of cases of trafficking in human beings, attempts at sexual exploitation, or on the labor market, and that there are indications of activity organized crime groups operating in these areas.

All the panellists emphasized that the crisis in Ukraine is a crisis on an unprecedented scale and requires immediate reaction, therefore - despite the potential threats - it is impossible to give up from the involvement of volunteers, who are necessary with such a high influx of refugees and the scale of their needs. However, the solution to the problem may be greater coordination of activities and regular control of the support system.
