Bulgarian children are most often the victims of trafficking and Bulgaria ranks as one of the most active human trafficking places in the Balkans.

Women and children are taken out of the country and most often forced to work or are used as organ donors, research of Animus association said as quoted by Novinar newspaper.

Easy gain was one of the factors that facilitated human trafficking. According to the research, girls living in orphanages most often became the victims of sexual exploitation as they grew up to believe that sex can guarantee them prosperity.

Children often run away from orphanages, which makes them vulnerable and the potential victims of trafficking.

Other places where youngsters risk becoming victims of human trafficking include night clubs and modeling agencies.

When it comes to sexual exploitation, Bulgarian girls are most often taken to Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Italy.
