 Perhaps
one of the most serious problems facing Uzbekistan - a country of 24 million
people - is its growing prostitution rings inside as well as outside the
country. Uzbekistan, previously known to be a center and pillar of Islamic civilization throughout many centuries, has never before come face-to-face with such a crisis of general moral deterioration. Some ten to fifteen years ago, the term ‘Uzbek prostitutes’ was simply unheard of. However, today, after eleven years of dictatorial rule under the iron-fist of President Islam Karimov, Uzbek prostitutes are gaining "fame" inside and outside the country's borders. Uzbek prostitutes are shamefully seized on a daily basis in varied circumstances and places, including luxurious hotels throughout the United States, the beaches of Thailand and Turkey, and even nightclubs and restaurants in both India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Despite these developments, authorities in Uzbekistan apparently haven't taken any serious measures to fight this "epidemic". Moreover, the majority, if not all of the law enforcement officials are customers and pimps for many of these prostitution rings. Undoubtedly, the main reasons behind this phenomenon are both the high level of unemployment and poverty, which the battered economy has inflicted on the country (most Uzbeks get by on less than $30 a month while doctors and teachers make as little as $10). This is also largely the result of a Mafia dominated government that has not been able to set proper economic and social policies to transform and improve the country’s standards. Furthermore, central Asian countries in general, and Uzbekistan, in particular, do not have strict laws that prohibit women from selling their bodies. In some cases, families in that part of the world are forced to sell their children in order to survive the miserable economic conditions they are daily faced with. According to official statistics, Uzbekistan has one of the worst records for drug abuse and HIV penetration, as well as illegal human trade. Following the Soviet occupation at the end of the 19th century, central Asian nations have all deviated from their traditional Islamic values and rich heritage. Uzbekistan, not being an exception, had received many blows from the atheist and despotic Leninist regimes of that time that have led to radical cultural and social changes over the decades since Soviet rule. When President Islam Karimov announced Uzbekistan’s independence in 1991, he annihilated all opposition parties and launched an ethnic cleansing program against Muslims, killing hundreds of thousands and inflicting on them heavy losses. Media reports have recently focused on President Karimov's elder daughter, revealing the specifics of the relationship between the ruling family and her former husband - Mansour Maqsoudi. These reports have highlighted ‘shady’ dealings, which the Uzbek government and the President’s elder daughter - Gulnara Karimova, in particular - have committed. According to Farkhod Inoghomboev, the daughter's top-aide, who was only hired after the break-up in 2001 of her 10-year marriage to Maqsoudi, Gulnara Karimova stands entirely behind the Uzbek sex industry in the UAE. According to Farkhod, Gulnara's former representative in Dubai, “She has established many of her firms in the UAE, after controlling most industrial and tourism establishments in her own country. Among these firms is Unitrend Tourism, which was established in Dubai in 2003, with Gulnora’s Royal Holdings being the main shareholder. Comments
