TRANISTRIA

These features combined with illegal migration flowing into and through Transnistria contribute to favourable conditions for human trafficking.

The Transnistrian authorities have their own governmental structures, currency, army, telephone system and media.  Unrecognized internationally as an independent state and opposing any cooperation with Moldovan law enforcement, Transnistrian authorities are in a position to fight against the crime of human trafficking when the crime is registered. Sources indicate that human trafficking, particularly forced labour and sex trafficking, is a problem in Transnistria, however the scale is hard to gauge as the territory is outside of Moldova’s central government monitoring system. 

“An estimated 125,000 people will have seen the TLG film at cinema screenings in Transnistria two main cities, Tiraspol and Bender.”
