Listening to Young Russian Women Sarah Mendelson and Theodor Gerber launched a survey in spring 2008 of 2,004 women in Russia, ages 16 to 34. The survey explored a variety of issues including knowledge and experience with human trafficking. More broadly, they sought through their survey to identify the prevalence, correlations, and consequences of gender-based harassment and discrimination among the younger generation of females in Russia.
Dr. Mendelson and Dr. Gerber presented a portion of their findings on young Russian women's attitudes towards human trafficking, prostitution, and discrimination and harassment in the workplace and educational institutions at CSIS on December 5, 2008. Event information, the presentation, and an audio recording are
available here.
They also presented data illustrating attitudes toward procreation and family formation, trafficking, and prostitution on July 23, 2008 at the Moscow Carnegie Center.
Presentation (Power Point) and
audio (Real Media) available.
