Syria :
According to Syrian law scholars, Syrian Authority is preparing a draft for a new prostitution law. The new law will ease the sentence on prostitutes and will consider them as victims while it will punish the clients .
The new law also will forbid the advertisements for prostitutes that are found in newspapers. The prostitution phenomenon has increased after the invasion of Iraq. The poverty of Iraqi refuges has pushed many of Iraqi’s women to work in prostitution.
According to a study by the United Nations, there are 50 Iraqi women arrested in Syria every week for prostitution.

Good law.. Actually it makes alot of sense. I don’t think any woman had a childhood dream of becoming a prostitute. They do it out of desperation, on the contrary the clients and pimps do it out of exploitation.

That’s another achievement that United States did.

I don’t know what is the relationship between the new law and The USA. It is really a shame to consider any imrovments in our laws as a consequence to US pressures.
(Local Perspectives)
No, that’s not what I meant. I wrote that because of the number of Iraq women being arrested in Syria because of prostitution.
