Prostitution in Syria is illegal.[1] Beyond the practice of prostitution by an undisclosed number of Syrian women, many women fleeing the war in Iraq have been forced into prostitution.[2] Some sources claim up to 50 thousand Iraqi refugee women in Syria, many of them widows or orphans, have been forced into prostitution.[3] Sources claim the women are exploited by wealthy Saudis and Gulf Arabs.[4]
