  • Flowers in the Garbage: Transformations of Prostitution in Iran in the Late Nineteenth-Twenty-First Centuries in Iran
    International Journal of Historical Archaeology https://doi.org/10.1007/s10761-020-00541-z Flowers in the Garbage: Transformations of Prostitution in Iran in the late Nineteenth-Twenty-First Centuries in Iran Maryam Dezhamkhooy1 & Leila Papoli-Yazdi2 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The archaeology of garbage project was conducted in 2017-18 to investigate the daily garbage of inhabitants of two districts of Tehran. Among the discarded materials, we recognized scattered evidence of prostitutes’ daily life. Finding such evidence gave us an alibi to work on the historical documents in order to trace the patterns of prostitution in nineteenth-century Tehran. In this article, we configure “the geography of prostitu- tion” and the politics of marginalization in the largest city of Iran through investigating the material culture found in garbage fills, surveying the city plan, photos, written documents, and archival data. Key words Garbology. Prostitution . Iran . Modernization . Women . Recent/ Contemporary past . Red district Introduction This paper is a narrative of prostitution and its transformations with the advent of modernism. It does not render a meta-narrative or a general history of prostitution in the recent history of Iran. The authors try to present a detailed narrative, as far as the sources allow, of everyday life of prostitutes in Tehran, Iran. We also endeavour to develop a chronological framework. Archaeologically speaking, the evidence presented two forms of narratives: an official history including states’ policies of prostitution, and * Leila Papoli-Yazdi [email protected] Maryam Dezhamkhooy [email protected] 1 Humboldt Stiftung Allumni, Tehran, Iran 2 Department of Historical studies, University of Gothenburg, Box 200, SE-405 30 Gothenburg, Sweden International Journal of Historical Archaeology an unofficial, intimate history that can be traced in memoirs, autobiographies, personal notes, photos, and garbage.

  • Should Prostitution Be Legalized? Deepen Upadhyaya, National
    Should Prostitution Be Legalized? Deepen Upadhyaya, National Institute of Mass Communication & Journalism, India The Asian Conference on the Social Sciences 2014 Official Conference Proceedings 0510 Abstract The subject of my research paper is “Should prostitution be legalized?” it is written with context of old Indian culture and the phase of changes in society. Where at one point of time just like the cast system even the profession of sex workers was socially accepted and respectable! But gradually due to the change of time and cultural diversities, this profession and people in it became socially out casted. I have tried to show the kind of treatment given to this segment of society and also given history of its beginning to its current state. Based on various reference book and history of India from Ancient to modern time is given for the same. Along with history of Indian civilization where in different stages, with different monarch, and different society with religious changes of that time, I have tried to cover the account of same profession of sex workers in concurrent society of other countries like Europe, Turkey and USA. This is to show a comparative study of Sex workers. By writing this research paper my initiation is to show the conflict of a segment of society who is rejected by the advent of time, which is now ill-treated and exploited by the underworld and by society itself. What preventive measures can be taken to give them social, political and professional right with security; most importantly acceptance in the society of today’s times.

  • Shahr-E Now, Tehran's Red-Light District (1909–1979)
    SHAHR-E NOW, TEHRAN’S RED-LIGHT DISTRICT (1909–1979): THE STATE, “THE PROSTITUTE,” THE SOLDIER, AND THE FEMINIST By Samin Rashidbeigi Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of European Master in Women’s and Gender History Supervisor: Professor Francisca de Haan CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2015 Abstract This thesis deals with the history of Shahr-e Now, Tehran’s red-light district from 1909 until the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The district, as large as two football pitches, functioned as a sex market for almost seventy years with around 1,500 prostitutes living and working there. Shahr-e Now’s existence as “Tehran’s red-light district before the 1979 Revolution” has been only briefly mentioned in a number of scholarly works; however, the district has not been analyzed as a gendered and politically relevant urban construction in the context of modern Iranian history. This thesis uses the archival documents collected from The National Archive of Iran and The Document Center of Iran’s Parliament to explain Shahr-e Now’s long-lasting functioning in front of the public eye—despite the fundamental tension with Islamic morale. This thesis argues, firstly, that Shahr-e Now was initiated by state officials, and preserved during the Pahlavi period (1925–1979), mainly for the sake of the military population in Tehran. Using the vast literature on the rise of the modern army in Iran as part of the Pahlavi Dynasty’s establishment, this thesis explains that the increasing number of soldiers in Tehran was the main reason why the Pahlavi regime enabled/allowed the creation of Shahr-e Now; the state-regulated prostitution in Shahr-e Now served to provide the military with “clean women.” Moreover, this thesis suggests that the system of regulation within SN was pretty much similar to systems of regulation enforced by other modern(izing) nation states in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

  • Why the Iranian Regime Does Not Join the Cedaw?

This is an endeavor to show how suppression of women and stripping them of their rights is intertwined with the regime's subsistence in its entirety. As it would be seen in the following pages, only Article 1 of the CEDAW "contradicts in 90 cases with the articles of the Constitution, the Civil Code, the Islamic Penal Code, etc." of the Iranian regime.
