Prostitution in Syria
is
illegal. Beyond the practice of prostitution by an
undisclosed number of Syrian women, many women fleeing the
UN declared illegal invasion and war on Iraq have been forced into
prostitution.
Some sources claim up to 50 thousand Iraqi refugee women in Syria, many of
them widows or orphans, have been forced into prostitution.
Sources
claim the women are exploited by wealthy Saudis
and Gulf Arabs.
