[It\u2019s a form of] organized trafficking [where] corruption in the bureaucracy [and cooperation between] \u201csmugglers and the police\u201d [make the issue worse].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the government hides the relevant statistics, so it\u2019s impossible to know for sure how many victims there are, but the state-run ROKNA News Agency says that the women are moved under the pretext of finding employment, smuggled into countries, and forced to become sex workers because their identification documents are stolen before they even leave Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its opacity, the government is still considered tier 3 by the US State Department for failing to make the minimum effort to combat\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/human-rights\/46801-irans-suicide-cases-on-the-rise\/\">human<\/a>\u00a0trafficking and the US said that the domestic Iran trafficking networks appear to enjoy anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>One Iranian strategist, Hassan Abbasi, publically exposed the trafficking of women to other Middle Eastern countries as far back as 2008, condemning the President, the Information Minister, the Expediency Discernment Council, the Revolutionary Guards, the Bassij, the Judiciary Chief, the commander of the State Security Force, and Tehran\u2019s mayor for failing to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>But, of course, one of the main reasons for the increased rate of trafficking is poverty because people are desperate to escape the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/women\/31728-iran-fails-to-protect-its-people-from-human-trafficking\/\">hardships<\/a>\u00a0in Iran, tricked with thoughts of a better life. This is worse in more deprived areas.<\/p>\n<p>Komeili said: \u201cThe University of Tehran has a law clinic in the Oudlajan area of Tehran. A woman came to the clinic and said, \u2018My daughter has been missing for 2 weeks! Her friends said she went abroad.\u2019 We asked, \u2018What did you do in these 2 weeks?\u2019 I did nothing. I thought she was going abroad to earn money and send it to us,\u201d the mother replied. Therefore, the principal reason for human trafficking is\u00a0poverty, and victims fall into traffickers\u2019 traps thinking they are finding jobs.\u00a0Laws\u00a0must be changed, and the victim must not be seen as a criminal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While sex trafficking is a major part of this criminal industry, we shouldn\u2019t forget about the nasty blood and organ trafficking business, whereby\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/opinion\/op-ed\/27544-forgotten-children-human-trafficking-a-child-labor-in-iran\/\">victims<\/a>\u00a0(including children) are held for some time abroad before they are killed for their blood and organs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/human-rights\/46810-trafficking-in-iran-a-major-concern\/\">https:\/\/www.iranfocus.com\/en\/human-rights\/46810-trafficking-in-iran-a-major-concern\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran Focus\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By SIA RAJABI\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 APRIL 22, 2021 The trafficking of women in Iran is a real problem, with most of the victims smuggled out of the country&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[27],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Trafficking In Iran;
