UAE ranks first in world in prostitution, sodomy, alcohol: UN report
ABU DHABI, June 4 (YPA) – The “Emirates Human Rights Organization” has revealed a special report issued by the United Nations Wednesday on human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women workers and minors in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The report referred that the UAE has become the first in the world in prostitution and alcohol due to the corruption that the ruling regime sponsors in pursuit of its economic interests.
In its report, the organization emphasized that prostitution trade in the UAE is carried out with the support and protection of the rulers of the state in a confidential manner, and nightclubs and liquor stores operate in the country despite the UAE law prohibits that.
The organization pointed out that there are 30,000 prostitution shops in Dubai only, in addition to the presence of a large number of young people who practice sodomy under official cover, where young men and girls enter the UAE through obtaining a visitor visa that will later turn into a work visit, with the aim of working in the prostitution areas.
At the end of last year, a documentary film that was shown at an international conference hosted by the Italian University of Florence exposed the UAE as a country of prostitution and human trafficking, enhancing a series of international reports that had previously emphasized the corruption of the Emirati regime and its gross violations of human rights.
The British newspaper “Express” revealed that the 50-minute documentary film deals with the prevalence of prostitution and human trafficking in the UAE under the title (It is not for sale).
The newspaper stated that the film represents a shockingly documented investigation, as it was implemented over two years in the field of sex trafficking and forced prostitution in the Middle East, especially the UAE.
According to the newspaper, the documentary reveals how this deadly trade is organized, those behind the world’s third most profitable crime, and who are the victims.
Through secret filming, interviews and expert analysis, the film reveals human rights violations, and how women of different nationalities seeking jobs in the services sector are being trafficked under false pretenses, who end up as sex workers with slaves.
