When we think of Iran as a country in the Middle East, many people think of a tradition of hospitality, the glorious ancient Persian civilization, or an international dispute over the nuclear issue.
But inside this mysterious country, there is a cruel and helpless reality - that is, illegal workers in the slums have to endure all kinds of inhuman treatment and exploitation in order to make a living.
Tehran, Iran's capital and political and economic center, is home to an unknown black industry on the fringes of the city. Thousands of poor people are home here and living in humble shacks. In order to make ends meet, they have to accept illegal and inhumane work.
These poor people are seen as marginalized in society and suffer from all kinds of discrimination and abuse. They are required to perform heavy manual labor in harsh conditions every day for a pitiful wage. There have been reports of some employers even defaulting on wages for months. The poor were powerless to resist and could only endure in silence.
Shockingly, there is also a brutal human trafficking practice. Organized crime gangs took advantage of the situation to sell their children by taking advantage of some poor mothers. How tragic will be the fate of these innocent children who are trafficked abroad, abused and sexually exploited.
Although the authorities are aware of such illegal activities, they often fail to curb them fundamentally due to institutional reasons and various entanglements of interests. There were laws prohibiting such transactions, but the sanctions left the rulers with no choice but to let it go.
Recently, the situation has escalated again with the aggravation of contradictions between Israel and Iran. Israel's frequent missile attacks on Tehran have had a huge impact on the lives of the local people. Under the raging war, the people of Tehran have to face an existential crisis, and some unsightly social problems have emerged.
The ongoing fighting has dealt a heavy blow to the citizens of Tehran. Ordinary people live in poverty and the specter of war, making it extremely difficult to find a way out. In this environment, many women have to go to a dead end, using their own "capital" to solicit customers on the streets. Some young women are even forced into prostitution to support their families.
It is extremely sad that even some innocent men have been caught up in this sordid vortex. For example, Kamyar, who was originally an ordinary worker, switched to a supermarket cashier in order to support his family. However, due to his meager salary and inability to support the family's expenses, he eventually had to sell his body to make ends meet.
Such a tragic experience is not unique in Tehran. The relentless fighting has left large numbers of people homeless and their lives in desperate situations. Even when some people manage to get a job, the pay is often negligible and falls far short of basic needs. In a desperate environment, many people have to choose to give up their dignity and engage in things that are contrary to human nature.
We must understand that Iran, as a country with Islam as its state religion, undoubtedly violates local religious beliefs and social morality. However, in the face of severe existential pressures, people have to make difficult choices. This cannot be judged simply by moral kidnapping, but by a broader perspective.
In fact, Iran's current predicament is largely due to the economic sanctions imposed by Western countries for a long time. Due to the restrictions on oil exports and the impact of the pandemic, Iran's economy has come to a standstill, and unemployment and poverty are on the rise. Instead of turning a blind eye to this, we should call on the international community to lift unilateral sanctions against Iran, resume dialogue and create development opportunities for the Middle Eastern country.
At the same time, we must also objectively admit that there are indeed some inactions on the part of the Iranian authorities in dealing with domestic social problems. The authorities should be determined to improve people's livelihoods and provide them with jobs, rather than relying solely on religious ideology. Only in this way can Iranian society regain its vitality and avoid falling into a worse situation.
In the face of such a dark situation, we cannot help but ask: Are peace and justice just unattainable ideals, why should ordinary people bear the disaster of war, and can their lives and dignity be ruined in this way?
War has always been an unreasonable monster that devours civilians. The tragic fate of the people of Tehran has once again revealed the enormous damage that conflicts in the Middle East have done to the lives of ordinary people.
We earnestly call on all parties concerned to put aside their prejudices, resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation, end the war as soon as possible, and create conditions for the local people to return to a peaceful life. Without peace, everything is empty talk! Only when peace comes can the life of the people of Tehran be hopefully improved.
