Fatima is just one of the people Stacey Dooley encounters in her new
BBC3 documentary series, which looks at the various realms of sex work
in Turkey. It's fascinating, shocking and extremely moving — perhaps one
of Dooley's best films to date.
Amazingly, Turkey has state-run
brothels which are guarded by lots of security and hidden away from
public view. The women are able to work relatively safely, with the law
on their side. But with the government covertly trying to eliminate
prostitution, more sex workers are being forced to work unsafely in the
streets.
