The project narrates the current situation inside Moldovan society. To understand the source of the problem, one must recall that the Moldovan Republic was a part of the USSR and was one of the most developed agrarian regions of that huge country.

After the collapse of the communist system, it led to a sharp rupture of not only former political ties, but also to the complete, independent economic transition of all constituent elements of the once mighty state. Similar changes have negatively affected many republics, and the radical events which took place within the sovereign Moldovan state do not fit within the framework of a structured transition to a market economy.

At present, in the Republic of Moldova, there is practically no possibility to support one’s family through honest labor (intellectual or physical work holds no value).

This fact stimulates citizens to leave their homes in search of better opportunities.

According to statistical data, about 1.3 million of its able-bodied citizens have left Moldova. A large number of children are left “abandoned” by their parents.

This has confronted society with a new phenomenon of indifference in relation to the fundamental unit of society — CHILDREN. In turn, it is important to note that the Republic of Moldova takes the third place in the world, after Albania and Ukraine, in human trafficking for sexual slavery, where the lion’s share of victims are minors.

According to non-governmental organizations, in the Republic of Moldova, the sale of children into sexual slavery begins at the age of five!

Certainly, it is possible to speak about the fine ideals of human nature, about the reasonable steps of human civilization’s development, about the world global crisis, or about North Korean cruise missiles.

Yes, eventually, it is possible to discuss everything without reflecting on the fact that at this very moment, a catastrophic tragedy is occurring on this planet: THE SOUL OF A SMALL CHILD IS DYING!
