Description:	The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran requires that all laws and regulations should be based on Islamic Principles. These principles prevailed over constitutional law, and legislation enacted by the various legislative bodies. The sources of Islamic law according to Shi'a tradition fall into two main categories: the Qur'an and the Sunna (principle sources) ) with reference to the secondary sources, Ijma (consensus of the community via competent religious representatives) and Aql (Reasoning or wisdom). Only the Mojtahed, deeply learned in all the nuances of law through many years of training is authorized to interpret the source of law. Such initiative is known as Ijtihad that provides Islamic law ( i.e. The fatwa) with a means of adapting to the changing needs of society. These Islamic sources were also applied and enforced for the purpose of protection and prevention of Women Trafficking in Iran. For this reason as well, Iran is misapprehend as practicing laws that are not “conforming to minimum requirements standard” of the International law because of the differences in its judicial practice, procedures and enforcements. Social Legal qualitative research methodology is applied to draw data from various sources of literatures, reports and documents to investigate some of the objectives of this thesis that are to determine and understand the meaning of women trafficking and the social legal issues that give effects on them; the existing policy, domestic laws and international instrument available to protect women from being trafficked into and from Iran and the extent of these laws enforced by the Iranian government; and the measures needed to prevent women sexual exploitation via women trafficking activities in Iran. Some of the findings to this thesis are there is no single universally accepted definition on women trafficking; the establishment of domestic and international legislation cannot ensure prevention of women trafficking wholly; Iran need to collaborate with neighboring countries to fight women trafficking efficiently; Iran is considered non-compliance country for not conforming to minimum standard requirement as set by the U.N Palermo Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children of 2000; Iran needs to overcome the roots of women trafficking problem effectively; and women trafficking in Iran are overshadowed with other religious and cultural practice, such as temporary marriages (Mutaah) and child marriages. Abusive activities practiced on trafficked women will lead to further sexual victimization of women, girls and children.,Certification of Master's / Doctoral Thesis" is not available
