Summary/Abstract: Marta, a mother of three children was massacred near the river Fan, in the district of Puka, because she had denounced her tutors of prostitution. This is only one case, but every one of us can list one or more human life stories, who were lost in the abyss of prostitution. I have read somewhere that about 20 percent of the schoolgirls of a Berati middle school have left to work as prostitutes in other countries, whether freely, through deceipt or violence. It has been confirmed, that in the Western Europe there are 30 to 36.000 Albanian prostitutes (Cupi, 2001; Zhoi 2002). The same alarm is observed in the neighboring countries; through the triangle Montenegro- Kosovo- Serbia, where it is said to have passed about 700 thousand females destined to the European market of prostitution (Kalaba, 2002).
