According to the State Department of the United States, besides the USA, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus and Russia are among the five leading countries for the production of child porn. These states are on the black list due to their low standard of living and weak legislation against porn creators.
Although the United States holds the highest position in this list. According to ECPAT International, half of the world pornographic materials produced there. Analysts attribute their absolute leadership to the fact that this country is the oldest and most experienced global manufacturer of porn, and in American society there is a huge demand for these products. America is also the leader in the number of porn sites – there are more than 60% of the existing ones in the world.
However, more than 30% of child pornography on the Internet is placed by the providers from CIS, ECPAT claims. According to the IWF research, Ukraine is on the seventh place according to the dissemination of pornographic materials. According to an ECPAT consultant, Olga Swede, Ukrainian and Belorussian kids appear in pornographic commercials more often than any other children.
As the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Gennady Moskal claims, Ukraine has already won the European leadership in the production of child porn. “Western European countries have adapted their legislation in the way that a pervert will not approach a child. And, due to the lack of laws in Ukraine the permissiveness is thriving, and the police can catch only 5-10% of pedophiles,” he told.
According to the survey done by the Institute of Sociology of NAS of Ukraine, more than 28% of young Ukrainians are ready to send their photos to online strangers, and 22% of young compatriots periodically visit adult sites.
In total, up to 15,000 Ukrainian children, who are mainly homeless or come from troubled families are involved in this criminal business. According to the International Women’s Rights Center “La Strada-Ukraine”, the age of most young actors vary from four to ten.
