    EUROVISION SONG CONTEST WINNER AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    Ukrainian singer Ruslana, the winner of the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest,
    agreed to support the campaign against human trafficking at a meeting in
    Kyiv with Helga Konrad, the OSCE Special Representative on Combating
    Trafficking in Human Beings.

    "I have been looking for opportunities to make use of my popularity for the
    benefit of the European community," said Ruslana, who is already a UNICEF
    Goodwill Ambassador. "I am very grateful for the chance to join the
    anti-trafficking campaign and be involved in solving the pressing problem of
    human trafficking in the Ukraine and in other European countries."

    Helga Konrad said: "Ruslana's ability to reach the young people in the
    Ukraine and beyond makes her an asset in helping raise awareness of the
    risks of human trafficking - this modern form of slavery."

    Ruslana met OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Dimitrij Rupel, in Ljubljana earlier
    this year to discuss human trafficking.
