"Domestic and other violence against women was a persistent and common
problem in FYROM; one survey found that one of four women claimed to
have been a victim of physical or psychological domestic violence.
During the year at least 32 trafficking-related cases were prosecuted,
compared to 20 cases in 2004.Women from the country were trafficked
throughout the former Yugoslavia. NGOs and the international community
reported that there were more cases of internal trafficking. Reliable
statistics were not available, but specialists working in the field for
the OSCE and other agencies estimated that between 200 and 400 women
and young girls were trafficked to or through the country during the
year, primarily for sexual exploitation. Moldova, Romania, Albania, and
Bulgaria were the primary sources of trafficking victims, and victims
trafficked through the country were most often en route to Serbia and
Montenegro (including Kosovo), Albania, and western Europe. There were
four reported cases of trafficking involving girls (minors) during the
year. There were reports that female minors were recruited by some
massage parlor owners to perform sexual services for clients.
Trafficked girls were forced to work in prostitution, often under the
guise of dancers, hostesses, or waitresses in local clubs. Testimony by
victims confirmed that trafficking victims were subjected to threats,
violence, physical and psychological abuse, and seizure of documents to
ensure compliance."
