One thing to point out, just because many of these women are smuggled through Iran from neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Russia/Ukrain, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, azerbeyjan, central asia, Armenia and so on, does not make them Iranian. Most of the time they get mixed up as Iranians just because they are being smuggled through Iran to the Persian gulf states since that's the easiest way, or into Iran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.46.224 (talk) 09:28, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Women from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Eastern Europe, China, Bangladesh, Russia, Ukraine and Turkey are brought into Iran to work as prostitutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.255.46.224 (talk) 14:53, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Im removing these statements. "Iranians trafficked into Uea, Pakistan, belgium (What?), Enland (WTF?), France (LOL, right...)" cause there are no valid sources to this claim what so ever! The only way that would make sense would be if they were including the women being smuggled from Asia, Russia, Afghanistan and Eastern Europe through Iran as Iranians, which seems to be the case.

Please put up actual reports from actual detailed, un-biased articles, not childish racist propaganda that anyone can tell is a huge lie.

Moved Content from Article to Discussion[edit]

I think the following belongs in the discussion part and not in the article itself due to the personal view it portrays and the lack of citing of more objective sources, so I moved it here.

as a woman who has lived and been raised in iran I have to deny the above statements,I dont know if the one who wrote that has any research on that matter or not but I totally have never seen a foreighner prosititude, to add afghan people are so hardly dedicated to take care of their women and not letting them to be in touch with the other men .. so they would never let them to be sent to iran and as prostitudes!! but they have a tradition in thier marriages that the father of the girl receives an amount from the suiter to let him marry her.this was about afghanian woman whom are more likely than the other mentioned above to work(!) in iran as prostitudes, about the others mentioned I have to say that they will be soon recognized ethnicly from theire appearance due to the low ethnic diversity in iran and they would be arrested by the polie forces due to special laws and circomestances in today iran about prostitudes. I have to add that there are some beggers from countries like pakistan who work in the streets of bigger cities like tehran and mashhad.and there are people who help some people to scape from the country.becouse some younger boys want to go out of the country without doing the compulsary social service in the army. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.241.127.72 (talk) 18:24, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Revert[edit]

I reverted the page because I didn't think the latest series of edits by 69.255.46.224 were very constructive. No sources were cited, and I don't think the tone was appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Moreover, the edits over-wrote some references and broke the formatting. The article is already tagged with a {{USgovtPOV}}, and I think we should keep discussions on the talk page, rather than in the article. Check out Wikipedia:Core content policies.

State Department's Human Trafficking Report on Iran: Pure propaganda[edit]

The State Department is playing politics with human trafficking. For the second time in a row, State Department's report ranks Iran as one of the top countries for human trafficking. This is simply not true based on statistics provided by independent sources such as the UN

It should be noted that the United States is itself a country where human trafficking flourishes, with an estimated 250,000 slaves (see above report). This is of course not counting the many millions of "illegal immigrants" who are exploited willingly and do not figure in the human trafficking stats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ravanzadeh (talk • contribs) 03:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
