16%
OF ODESSA HAS AIDS!!!
(One
of the highest rate of AIDS in the world!)
Yes,
you read it correctly: 160 000 people are dying of AIDS!
This catastrophic time bomb is spreading fast and
silently, and the local government has neither the money nor the
willingness to do anything about it. Even if it received any funds
from outside, it would disappear overnight given its degree of
corruption. 
Most infected people do not want to be tested, not only
because they have no hope for a cure that would be too expensive for
them, but because they are afraid of being discriminated (the
sickness is still viewed as a taboo. For instance the law requires for
those who are at the end of their sickness to die in assigned hospitals
outside the city limits!)
The AIDS epidemic in Odessa is explained not just by sexual
immorality, but mostly by a huge epidemic of drug addiction and of
tuberculosis.

5000
HOMELESS CHILDREN SURVIVE ON THE STREETS!
There
are more than 5000 homeless children surviving on the streets, potholes
and the underground catacombs tunnels of Odessa!
Almost all of them use drugs and have STDs, many are HIV
positive. Many have parents who are drug addicts, but many are
orphans who moved from other parts of Ukraine because the warmer
climate of Odessa is easier for survival.

OVER
10 000 WOMEN ARE ENSLAVED TO SEX TRADE!
7000 to 10 000
prostitutes are being exploited locally
and many more are trafficked
abroad.
 Blighted by police corruption and organized crime, this
strategic southern Ukrainian port that has emerged as one of the principal
hubs of the international sex trade.
The reservoir of women desperate for a better life appears
limitless such that many are bought, sold, deceived, abused, and in
many cases trafficked as sexual slaves to a hellish life abroad. (Women
are given false papers and when they are trafficked their false
papers are taken away. It's as if they never existed).
The majority of them are desperate to escape a trade whose
true scale remains unknown but is certainly vast.
