| Iran's establishment has officially long denied the existence of sex workers in the country |
This is what Fa Abdul was talking about in Malaysiakini, legalized prostitution apparently is okay. Selling sex to survive in Iran. "I am ashamed of what l am doing, but what choice do l have?" says Neda, a divorcee in Tehran.
Read it all here.............By day she works as a hairdresser, but by night she works a second job as a prostitute, feeling forced into selling her body for sex just to make ends meet.
"I live in a country where women are not respected, the economy is crushing, and the price of everything is going up almost every day," she continues. "I am a single mum. I must take care of my son. Prostitution pays well, and now l am planning to buy a small house in downtown. This is the sad reality of my life. I am literally selling my soul."Iran announced a national programme to tackle prostitution. However, according to unofficial reports by non-governmental organisations (NGO) and researchers, the number of people working in the sex industry has only gone up.Iran's conservative religious establishment has officially long denied the existence of sex workers in the country. Instead, authorities allude to prostitution there as a Western plot designed to corrupt youth, or blame women for falling foul of unscrupulous men. Unofficial data also suggests Iran's sex workers are getting younger. Statistics from various NGOs suggest that in 2016 girls as young as 12 were involved in prostitution.
