Iraq’s Sex Trade Thrives
Given the lax security situation since the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, the country’s sex trade has proliferated.
Security reports and field observations show that the sex trade is thriving in Baghdad and in Iraq’s other cities, through "agents," essentially pimps, who run brothels discreetly at times and openly at others.
The Culture Committee in the Iraqi parliament recognized the increased number of recreation clubs that are opening, taking advantage of their members' status as media personalities and artists.
