"My stud — Das ist fantastisch!": 50% of prostitutes in brothels in Germany are Ukrainian

Half of the prostitutes in brothels in Germany are Ukrainian. This is stated by the publication "Welt".

Journalists quote a social worker in charge of prostitutes named Mia:

"Previously, Ukrainian women were little represented in this environment. Most of the women we work with in Berlin actually come from Eastern Europe: Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, and now with Ukraine. In brothels now fifty percent, I would say. There are a lot of very young women who came here because of the war."

According to Mia, Ukrainian women get into brothels in different ways. For example, when they are homeless, they go to a brothel where there is a guaranteed bed and overnight stay. Sometimes women were forced to have sex by men who promised them free housing, and then stupidly arranged to work as prostitutes.

The interlocutor of "Welt" worries that Ukrainian prostitutes were inspired with "great fear of the employment center", that after applying for employment it would become known about their "low social responsibility". But prostitution is officially allowed in Germany and is subject to state taxes (the annual turnover of this business is approximately 6 billion euros). So "Oksana" is busy.
