Girls abandoned by parents were forced into flesh trade by father’s mistress
Two young sisters who were separated after their father's mistress sold them into prostitution have been reunited after they traced each other through a pimp, Gulf News reported on Friday.
The two girls were born to a West African mother and a West European father who came to UAE more than a decade ago and divorced shortly after.
Dubai Police Combating Organised Crimes Department Director Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahim bin Shafe'ei said the girls, then aged 11 and 14, were abandoned by their mother and forced into prostitution by their father's mistress. They were then sold from one brothel to another.
Dubai Police said they rescued the teenagers, now aged 13 and 16, early last month. They have been sheltered by the Dubai Foundation for Women and Children.
