UN: Women and kids fleeing Ukraine at risk of human trafficking

According to the United Nations, women and children fleeing the conflict in Ukraine are at heightened risk of human trafficking and exploitation.

Human rights advocates are warning officials to be more vigilant. They say the rapid, mass displacement of people is a ‘recipe for disaster.’

CGTN’s Natalie Carney reports from Poland, where more than two million people from Ukraine, mostly women and children, have escaped the fighting in their country.
