From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prostitution in the Palestinian territories is illegal. Ramallah is one of the few outlets for prostitution in the Palestinian territories as premarital sex is still seen as taboo in the country.[1] A recent report by the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and SAWA-All the Women Together Today and Tomorrow, a Palestinian NGO, suggest an increasing number of women taking up prostitution in the face of poverty and violence.[2]
