Aire Trummal has composed the Estonian country report TRAFFICKING IN CHILDREN FOR SEXUAL PURPOSES IN EUROPE: THE SENDING COUNTRIES.
Like in other post-soviet countries, Estonian sex industry started to vigorously develop after the re-independence in the middle of 1990s when the number of brothels and those involved in prostitution increased tremendously. Drug trafficking, prostitution and excise fraud are the main income sources of the organised crime today (Saar, Markina, Ahven, Annist, Ginter 2002:85-98). |

Almost every second woman is injured because of violence and every seventh woman is subject to serious, also life-threatening injuries and traumas. |

|
In 2000, the Scientific Research Studio Spinter carried out part of the scientific methodological research on the scope of child abuse. Parents and guardians bringing up children under 18 (1000 respondents) and representatives of the public from 18 to 60 years old (1000 respondents) were interviewed during this part of the research.
100 per cent of the respondents (women, respondents with a better background, married respondents) emphasised the relevance of the problem of child abuse. Children growing in streets and living in dysfunctional families are exposed to sexual abuse most frequently. Married respondents who have children themselves tend to rely on the ability of a traditional family to protect children from sexual abuse.
