Summary
This report is the result of a research project conducted by the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS). The main aim of the project was to gain and share awareness, knowledge and understanding on the phenomenon of trafficking in women in Cyprus for the purpose of sexual exploitation. MIGS is very much alarmed about the present situation in Cyprus with regards to trafficked women for the purpose of sexual exploitation and stresses that there is no evidence of tangible efforts either by the Cyprus government or the civil society to tackle it in a specific way.
