War forces Iraqi mom into prostitution

In a place full of war and violence some people are forced to be in unimaginable circumstances in order to survive. "Wedad", an alias for a woman selling herself in Iraq, is one of those people. After losing her husband in the war, she has no other alternatives and has been forced into prostitution. In order to raise her three young daughters with no father and no real job prostitution has become Wedad's only option. There are organizations in order to help women like Wedad but quite frankly it is not enough. This article stems from alot of the problems we see nowadays with the sex trade and globalization. Also, with jobs being outsourced we may begin to face more and more of these problems.
