Fighting for the Sold Girls of Romania with Iana Matei

Fighting for the Sold Girls of Romania with Iana Matei

Elly Arrow interviews veteran anti-trafficking activist and psychologist Iana Matei about the systematic exploitation of Romanian women and girls across Europe. Matei explains how trafficking networks operate, why they consistently target vulnerable girls, and how government inaction allows these systems to continue largely unchecked. She describes the rescue homes she has built for survivors and the long, difficult process of helping girls recover from trauma and rebuild their lives. The conversation also confronts the urgent need for legislative reform and deep cultural change to prevent future generations of girls and young women from being drawn into sexual exploitation.
