Stella Rotaru: Fighting Global Sex Trade | Witness

Stella Rotaru, with her International Organisation for Migration, is fighting the international sex trade.

Stella is from Moldova, a former Soviet republic, so poor that over one-quarter of the population has emigrated. The country is a prime source for girls trafficked into prostitution.

Within a few years, Stella has become the “go-to” person for many girls who have been tricked and sold into prostitution with the false promise of a job abroad- often in the Middle East.

As a young Moldovan herself from a similar background, the girls trust her.

This film tells the story of some of these girls and Stella’s determination to help them.
