Wikipedia has it wrong:

In the contemporary Middle East, sexual slavery is uncommon. However, transportation and trafficking of these women does exist there. Iran, Israel, and Turkey have a significant sex trade-much of it involving women from Eastern Europe and poor areas of Northern India.

Sexual slavery is very common in the Middle East as this site proves, especially if we go by their own definition of sexual slavery which includes “forced prostitution.”

Secondly, the majority of it does not involve Eastern European women or “poor areas of Northern India” (how vague is that?), but rather from places such as Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and quite recently Iraq and Iran. Moreover, Dubai has one of the worst cases of forced prostitution (and migrant rights abuses in general.)

The following article is two years old, but the situation is not much different today than it was back then.

‘There have been some reports that indicate Iraqi women may be subjected to sexual exploitation in prostitution in Syria at the hands of Iraqi criminal networks, but those reports have not been confirmed,’ the report said.

The going rate for an Iraqi prostitute is 10,000 Iraqi dinars ($7), according to The Toronto Star.

Though some women are adopting prostitution to feed their families, others are being sold against their will.

The Independent interviewed two women who were abducted and then sold into prostitution.

‘Because I was not married, I was sold for $6,000, and Sajeeda for $3,000. My hymen had a price - this is when we realized that we were going to have to do bad things with men. We were terrified,’ one of the women told The Independent.

A growing concern of many humanitarian organizations is the young ages of Iraqi prostitutes. In an article for Salon magazine, an outreach organization for refugee children, Good Shepherd Nunnery, in Damascus said they had lost many of their students.

‘In the past year, many of the children attending the nunnery`s learning center suddenly disappeared’ said a sister at the school.
