A Ukrainian prostitute is a person from Ukraine who engages in prostitution, which is the act of providing sexual services in exchange for money or other forms of payment. In Hebrew, this can be translated as זונה אוקראינית. In Ukrainian, the term is українська проститутка. Prostitution in Ukraine is legal, but related activities such as solicitation, brothels, and pimping are regulated or restricted. The country has faced significant issues with human trafficking and sex tourism, with many individuals, particularly from vulnerable populations, being exploited through coercion or deception. The economic and political instability in Ukraine has contributed to the prevalence of sex work, with some individuals turning to prostitution as a means of survival or due to limited economic opportunities. International organizations and local NGOs work to combat these issues by providing support, rehabilitation, and advocacy for those involved in sex work.
