Listen to this item
It's thought around a million women each year end up in forced prostitution in foreign countries. Sex trafficking has reached acute proportions in the Ukraine where victims end up in Western and Southern Europe and the Middle East.

This week a charity which helps Ukrainian women return to their lives at home was honoured with an award.
Oksana Horbunova from the IOM - the International Organisation for Migration received the award from the Vital Voices Global Partnership.
