MOLDOVA-TRAFFICKING-PROSTITUTION-CRIME-THEATRE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ISABELLE WESSELINGH
Theatre actress Anna Sadovskaia, 24, who is also a social worker in a shelter for trafficked victims speaks during an interview with AFP at "B.P. Hasdeu" high school in Drochia city on October 10, 2013. In Moldova, the poorest country in Europe, scores of youths dreaming to emigrate are easy prey for human traffickers but an interactive theatre project helps them resist the lure. Brazilian director Augusto Boal invented this participatory form of theatre in the 1970s in a bid to give voice to audiences. A short play about a social problem is turned into a forum of discussion: "spect-actors" suggest different solutions and even climb onstage to enact them. Around 600,000 Moldovans out a population of 3.5 million (excluding the separatist region of Transnistria) reside abroad in search of a better life, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). More than one third do so illegally due to labour and visa restrictions in the European Union and surrounding countries. Moldova is one of the main "source countries" in Europe for sex trafficking and forced labour. The exact number of Moldovan victims remains unknown but the IOM helped more than 3,000 of them between 2000 and 2012. AFP PHOTO/DANIEL MIHAILESCU
