Shevchenko says, “We have a lot of sex tourists here in Ukraine. Because nobody cares about that, nobody wants to stop this problem.”
The sex industry thrives in Ukraine, a country where women score high in beauty and low in income.
“It is really easy to become a prostitute in Ukraine, even for me, or for other girls,” notes Shevchenko. “You just need to make this one step to become a prostitute. I have a lot of invitations from a lot of brothels, from different strip clubs.”
Oksana Shachko, a veteran Femen activist, goes a step further, attacking Internet international dating sites, sometimes called mail-order bride sites.
“There are many websites that advertise Ukrainian women, because Ukraine girls are beautiful. But, unfortunately, many are undereducated and want to become a wife of a rich man, their knight on a white horse,” she says. “But in actuality, it is only like exporting human flesh, and it is illegal. We are trying to explain to these girls that it is not a real way to a good life. “
Shevchenko, 24, has to juggle her feminism with the traditional expectations of her mother and grandmother.
“They imagine for me another life,” says Shevchenko, who grew up in a mid-sized city in Western Ukraine. “They wanted to see me as a wife and a mother. And each single day when my mom calls me she says, 'When I will have my grandchildren, did you find a man?' And I do not know what to answer her.”
