Documentary

Prostitution behind the veil (1)
by CBC
31-Oct-2007
 

PARTS: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: Minna and Fariba are neighbours and good friends. They support one another. Both have to live under the pervasive curtailment of women's rights and the double standards of today's Iranian society. They make a living walking the streets looking for men. They have a choice between leaving their small children at home alone or bringing them along when they have sex with men. The film is a sympathetic portrait of the two women, exploring their day-to-day life and the workings of prostitution in a country that bans it and prosecutes adulterers, sometimes with the penalty of capital punishment.

To all readers....

by jamshid on

Do you see how the Islamists have "cleverly" diverted the attention from the main subject (abject misery of Iranians living in Iran) to none sense issues about Canada, Dubei, etc...?

 

It won't work, you lajans.

 

Iranians have turned to prostitution, drugs, hopelessness, loss of their identity, total poverty and a varity of other miseries caused not only by the mullah, BUT ALSO BY YOU IRI LACKEYS ON THIS SITE. Yes you bastards.

 

When your day comes, you, the IRI suporters, the worst kind of traitors, shall answer to the people. You shall forcefully build roads and houses, among other things, for those you so utterly destroyed.

 

That day is not too far.

Dubai is better than Canada

by Mirza (not verified) on

Or Kuwait is better than Canada. Take your pick. You don't get a choice where you land in Canada. It doesn't matter anyway. Half the country speaks French and they are more "white" than other Canadians. Haven't you ever heard of British creating intolerable situations in colonies like Australia where it was a prison colony? This is new day slavery, so they "advertise" everywhere so immigrants come here to Canada and pay taxes so rich Canadian can live. We just don't want people to sell everything and come here and lead miserable lives. Everybody has been homeless in Canada in one time or another. You said you came here with $20 in your pocket, so you were homeless too. There is no apartments renting for $20. Human rights violation is the flagship of Canada. Canada sucks and everybody who can leave Canada, leaves Canada. Look at all the Canadian people who moved to Hollywood or became Country music stars. They were all homeless in Canada or hilly billy.

LOL, what do u mean no one

by Sleeps2 (not verified) on

LOL,

what do u mean no one wants to move to Vancouver and live in it?? So who are all those people in that city?? lol, its one of the fastest growing Canadian cities!

They forced you here?? Forced slaves into America were kidnapped and brought by ship to America and then sold... is that what they did to you? Who stole you?? How much did they sell you for??

"They stole my passport"... How come no one stole my passport?

"They drop off poor Iranian girls here so they can make money with Arabs" What??? This is not Dubai!! Where are u getting this stuff from??

This is pointless, its like talking to a kid, or worse... a bache akhoond!

We did not want to come to Canada

by Mirza (not verified) on

Are you crazy? they forced us here, just like they forced slaves to Americas. This is new day slavery. They herd you here in the stinking Canada and then they say if you don't like it go back home. Go where? This miserable place IS my stinking HOME! Do you think I like it here? If I could go, I would go. They stole my passport and landed me here, opened the door and said here you go. Heeeerreeee, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty. They drop off poor Iranian girls here so they can make money with Arabs who are now Canadian "citizens" They are nothing. They are just liers like every other rich person who thinks Canada is good and advertises it. Canada sucks! plain and simple. If Vancouver is #1 city, why no one wants to move and live in it? PULLease. Get your facts together.

I was an immigrant!!!

by Sleeps2 (not verified) on

I don't understand why your saying things like "they advertise immigrants, and screw them and this and that.....'

I was an immigrant 20 years ago, when I came to this country my father had $20 in pocket!! And today I have a life I would not be able to have in Iran!!

You suggesting that Canada "bribes" the UN to say Canada is good... oh my goodness, you guys will come up with anything! I'm sure emam zaman is coming up some well of shit too and that you really could see khomeini in the moon too! LOL

GET THE FUCK OUT OF CANADA IF ITS SO BAD!! My Family left Iran because it wasn't good for us. You can leave Canada whenever you want too!!

what does canada have to do with this?

by MRX (not verified) on

Whether you folks like living in Canada or not is irrelevant. The issue here is increase in prostitution and dug usage in Irab which is a by product of poverty! You should be asking yourself why there is so much poverty in Iran, when the country is among the richest in the world? Where does all the oil money go? why is the regime giving away billions of dollars a year to PLO, hamas, Syria and six and half dozen terrorists’ organizations out there when rampant poverty is the name of the game?
Ma Marmdoman begheyrat , bedoon ehsas va mantegh hastim. Apparently nothing out rage us us any more! Shame and disgrace.

Where are other REAL statistics?

by Mirza (not verified) on

What about the percentage of homeless? children on drugs? gays and lesbians with AIDS? drugs? suicide? look at the link Hajiagha provided. The problem with you people is you forget where you come from. Canada pays UN for a report to say Canada is rich and you buy it. Its like someone goes to Vanak and says Tehran is very fancy. What about Shoosh or Javadiyeh? what about poor places. It's good to look good in pictures but what about regular people? why is Queen's picture on our dollar? Hon? You know nothing about the exploitation. All you know are fancy malls and shopping areas. When it comes to REAL life, Canada is the bottom of the list. They advertise so immigrants come here and pay them taxes so they can have tax cut for the rich. Rich get richer, British get richer and give more land to white Canadians and poor get poorer. Canada is a big lie. We need help! The whole world needs to turn their head and see the help that Canadians so deparately need.

Why blaming Canada for Iran's current regime stupidity??!

by An Iranian not proud of being "Persian" (not verified) on

This is all truth and nothing else. Those who deny this fact are bunch of self-denier who can't just tolerate the truth. The poverty, addiction, prostitution, censorship are the gifts of the current regime. This documentary is only mirroring the facts, those who blaming Canada for broadcasting it should look for a better way to overcome their frustration about the current Iran overtaken by evils!!

CBC is BBC's puppet

by Mirza (not verified) on

CBC is a puppet of BBC. They are fake, like fake jewelery or what we call Kuwait-e merchandise. It is off market journalism. The Canadian government is so inept that spends millions on fake reports and propaganda. They say Israel is bad for palestinians. Come to Canada and see for yourself. At least palestinians get free money from other countries. Here in Canda, we work and pay tax and just breath air. We can't do anything here. Cost of living is so high, you need to be a royal off-spring to be able to afford it. Human rights violations, racism, crime, drugs and suicide is every where. This must be stopped. Don't listen to traitors who will sell their behinds for a dollar. Life is hell in Canada and it is just a sad illusion. It is a big lie. They pay for the reports that are generated in Britain to say Vancuover and Toronto are good. All these cities in the world and these stinking cities are better? don't lie. Sheer utter lies!

Pouran you are from North Vancouver

by Mirza (not verified) on

What about the other parts of Vancouver? Your husband is rich and exploits poor people and we're supposed to believe you? Canada sucks much more than Iran, even though it is supposed to be more civilized. Your husband steals money from Iran oil company and spends it in Canada and Canada is good? Of course Canada is good for the likes of you. For the rest of us Canada is hell. It's a frozen hell. My god when are you people going to admit Canada is bad and taxing and enslaving people? Even though the rest of the world is independent, we still live under the old British rule. We need a Gandi in Canada to free us from colonialism. We need help! Stop the lies!

Prostitution behind the veil

by Pouran Rostamian (not verified) on

The reference to Prostitution and all other vices prevailing in Iran is just a whole lot of propaganda. There is no prostitution and all women in Iran are pious and read the Koran on a daily basis. Yes there are few women who like to have sex and dress up very sexy, but they are few compared to the total population and belong to the taghoti families. Canada is a beautiful place to enjoy and live. I have three apartments in Iran and have rented out my dental clinic to a dentist in Tehran. My husband is working in Naft and Gas company in Iran and earning a huge salary. He is a Canadian citizen but in Naft and Gas company no one knows. So no problem. The monthly remittance I get from Iran is around 5,000 dollars so no problem. Beggars cannot be choosers can they. And all of you being muslims should read the Koran daily. I was non muslim but have become muslim now. Please note that Islam is in its origins an Arab religion. Anyone not an Arab who is a Muslim is a convert as all you Iranians are. Islam is not simply a matter of conscience or private belief. It makes imperial demands. A convert's world view alters after converting to Islam. His holy places are in Arab lands: his sacred language is Arabic. His idea of history alters. He rejects his own; he becomes, whether he likes it or not, a part of the Arab story. So all of you Iranian muslims and me are converts. We are part of the Arab history now and should not criticize the Mullahs who are pure arabs. Respect the Mullahs and do not belief in propaganda.

Sad, But Fact of Life!

by world citizen (not verified) on

Yes, it’s a sad story and we wished it weren’t true. But, this is not limited to Iran //news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6343325.stm and it even existed before Islamic Republic came to power. To resolve this you need to create a world like in John Lennon’s Imagine. Even that would not be enough to overcome human’s animal instincts, weaknesses and faults. In a perfect world there are no addicts, poverty, hunger, wars, child abuse, rape, serial killers, mental illness, handicapped people, death, taxes, speed limit, cellphone drivers and forced prostitution. But, where is a perfect world? The only think governments and NGO’s can do is to try to prevent, reduce and control social ills.

Jamshid is a notorious liar, here he goes again:

by Qumars (not verified) on

7 years is the fault of the Iran only? Do you really hate your own country this much? You are the uneducated one. This is the truth:

---------------------
When Iraq attacked Iran on September 22, 1980, the United Nations Security Council waited four days before holding a meeting. On September 28, it passed Resolution 479 calling for an end to the fighting. Significantly, however, the resolution did not condemn (nor even mention) the Iraqi aggression and did not call for a return to internationally recognized boundaries. As Ralph King, who has studied the UN response in detail, concluded, "the Council more or less deliberately ignored Iraq's actions in September 1980." It did so because the Council as a whole had a negative view of Iran and was not concerned enough about Iran's predicament to come to its aid. The U.S. delegate noted that Iran, which had itself violated Security Council resolutions on the U.S. embassy hostages, could hardly complain about the Council's lackluster response.
....
There were a number of third party mediation efforts. The first was undertaken by Olof Palme, representing the UN Secretary General. Palme proposed that as an initial step the two sides agree to have the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway cleared. Iraq, however, would only agree if it could pay the full costs (thus legitimating its claim to the entire river), and no agreement could be reached.<134> Then, the Nonaligned Ministerial Committee proposed a cease-fire simultaneous with withdrawal, with demilitarized zones on both sides. Iran accepted and, for a while, Iraq did as well. But Baghdad soon changed its mind, hoping to win on the battlefield. In neither of these instances was any significant outside pressure put on Iraq to settle.<135>
...
In early 1982 another mediation effort was begun by the government of Algeria, which had helped Iran and Iraq reach a border agreement in 1975 and had also served as a go-between for the release of the U.S. embassy hostages. On May 3, 1982, however, an aircraft carrying the Algerian foreign minister and his team of experts was shot down in Iranian airspace by an _Iraqi_ fighter plane. Five years later a captured Iraqi pilot was said to have admitted that the attack was intentional, with the objective of having Iran be blamed for the action.<136> Whether this is true or not, the shootdown eliminated from the scene the most experienced mediators.

1 in every 3 Candians has experienced drugs before the age of 13

by Mirza (not verified) on

1 in every 3 Candians has experienced drugs before the age of 13. This is based on United Nation's reports which is confirmed by the Canadian Health Ministry. Since dollar has equalled Canadian dollar the export of Marijuana has tripled and the business is booming. You can find drug dealers in eastern parts of Vancouver selling pot by the pound. All you have to do is go shopping and you can get up to 5 pounds per pound. Young people are selling these drugs on the streets and now they are exporting it over the border.

Canada's gay population is exploding and this does not even account for other very serious social diseases. Canada's fresh water system is in danger and native Canadians are constantly discriminated and robbed. It is terrible down here. Security Council needs to send a representative and document all the human rights violation here.

Re: The educated (!) watcher....

by Jamshidd (not verified) on

You say: "The 8 year Iran-Iraq war(supported by the US) sucked Iran's economy..." You want to blame it on the war?
.
So then no, you are wrong. It was not the "8" year war, it was the "1" year war that could be blamed on foreigners. The remaining "7" years could not be blamed on an foreign country, on any Iranian, on anyone, except one man: Ruhollah Khomeini. HE did not accept the peace offer in 1982 in which Iraq agreed to even pay Iran for war damages. The last seven years of the war, the most devastating part was Khomeini's fault.
.
So rephrase your sentence. You should have said The one year Iran-Iraq war(supported by the US) AND the remaining SEVEN years continued solely by Khomeinei sucked Iran's economy...
.
You are and "un-educated" traitor to Iran. Your day will come too.
