I read about how young Iraqis refugees are being forced into prostitution in Syria (outside Damascus)...my heart goes out for these girls...they are young...some are barely 13....according to the writer: the U.N relief agencies: Iraqis refugees are not allowed to work in Syria...so these girls become prostitutes to feed their families...what is called "survival sex"...

I got teary eyed - this is one of the most saddening and disheartening things that I have read....what a mess - like the writer put it: they were traumatized by the war, now victimized again...!
