Oxana's father Nikolai is appealing to Russian Prime Minister Putin to stop the trade that claimed his daughter

The father of a victim of the rape trade has sent a moving appeal to Avaaz:



"My daughter Oxana was a beautiful, wonderful girl, gifted in languages. She left our home when she was 20 to take her dream job as a translator in Europe. We were so happy for her. 3 weeks later the police told us she died falling from a 5th story window, trying to escape men who fooled her with the job and forced her into a sex club. I died when she died. Now I live only to stop this from happening to other girls. Please, help me."
