Prostitution in Iraq (response blog)

The religious strife in Iraq and the economic turmoil in the country has now cause many of the women in Iraq to resort to prostitution. Thousands of women are now forced into prostitution because of the limited availability of jobs for these women. Most are widows or orphans of the war in Iraq and have no one to get support from. The women are exploited severely by their pimps and they have to find ways to make money making this the only choice.

Its so that women in Iraq are being forced to such horrible ways to make money. I feel really bad for theses women's situation and wish there was a easier way for them to find help. This really to me speaks out about the problems that are going on in Iraq right now. I wonder if U.S. involvement help cause some of these problems and if we can help make things better. I think we should have someway to help set in place a support system for these women. Also how is it that Iraqi men don't get in trouble for being involved in prostitution and the women go to jail.
