The girls who volunteer themselves to be apart of the human trafficking trade are looking for a sense of freedom. They think that they will be liberated. Marina Transchel is the founder of the Ukrainian NGO, Path to Freedom Organization. She herself was a victim and was trafficked with her sister. She managed to escape and rescue her sister and prosecute her traffickers. Her sister died later from a mysterious car accident. These setbacks didnt stop her from trying to help other just like her. She has experienced the conditions first hand so she know what escapees are feeling. She just wants girls to return home safely.

I found a job in the newspaper...it was a good salary...my situation was really desperate it looked like the only way out...When we arrived in Moscow there were two cars waiting for us...we got out and saw a private house...it was the place we were to meet our employer...a man came in but didnt greet us he told us we worked for him...we suddenly knew what type of job this was’” (MTV Exit). The girls who are recruited and trafficked have no idea what theyre signing up for. They are desperate for a job so they dont question its logistics. They sadly dont figure out what theyve done until itstoo late. This a real story told by the girl who was trafficked unwillingly and survived. Her true identity is a secret for her own safety so she can tell her entire story. Even with all these precautions Marina still might be holding parts of her story back in fear of being caught or not wanting to relive her horrors. In order to get a better idea we should look at more documentaries .
