Ukraine is one of the world鈥檚 leading hubs for commercial surrogacy, attracting couples from around the world with lower costs and more relaxed laws.

And we look at the situation in the Central African Republic. The United Nations has described the situation there as one of the most neglected humanitarian emergencies globally.
