Ruslana Lyzhicko, 2004 Eurovision Song Contest winner and former Ukrainian MP, participates in the Vital voices of Eurasia: a leadership summit for women & girls, launched by the international NGO vital voices global partnership. Ruslana has composed Not for sale, a song especially created for the project.

On the opening day of the four-day meeting held in Kyiv from 14-18 October, Ruslana participated in the press conference together with Vital voices leaders where she announced a joint project which aims to raise awareness among young women to fight human trafficking in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

Ruslana played parts of her song, Not for sale, which encourages young women to be suspicious when approached by people promising them highly paid employment abroad.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain.

I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
