Imprisonment No Solution To Debauchery

Putting street women behind bars would not help eradicate prostitution, head of Iran’s Workers Society said. In an interview with ILNA, Mostafa Eqlima underscored that draconian police crackdowns on social plights would not help resolve the predicaments. Strict clampdowns, he believes, is nothing but a temporary remedy for the social ailment. “Intensive repression would not assist the women, the majority of whom are dragged into the streets by poverty and financial woes,“ Eqlima insisted.
According to the expert, at present, about 1.2 million households are headed by women across the country. He warned that such families are vulnerable against debauchery unless they are provided with adequate support.

Eqlima stressed that meager allowances paid to underprivileged households by the social welfare entities fall short of meeting their survival needs. He reiterated that a fig-leaf approach would be the worst--a method extensively employed by state officials. Authorities are mistakenly of the opinion that incarceration of street women provides a solution to the problem. the expert stated.

Citing dreadful facts and figures released by provincial officials, the society’s chief regretted that the age of prostitution is said to have plummeted to less than 15 years. Eqlima said the majority of street women would abandon their corrupt behavior, provided they have decent jobs."

This is a fact of Iranian life that goes largely unreported.

“However, providing such women with jobs is a daunting task, under circumstances wherein a great number of educated people are complaining of unemployment,“ he stressed.
