بررسي چند سند تاريخي از تجارت زنان و دختران در عهد قاجاريه در شمال خراسان

Examining Three Historical Documents regarding the Trade of Women during the Qajar Period in Northern Khurasan

در تاريخ معاصر ايران و در عصر قاجارها يكي از پديده هايي كه امنيت رواني جامعه ي ايران و مردم آن را به گونه اي جدي تهديد و آرامش را از آنان سلب كرد، موضوع خريد و فروش زنان طبقات فرودست؛ درنتيجه ي ناتواني از پرداخت ماليات، فقر مفرط بود، ناامني و در سايه ي بي تفاوتي و گاه مشاركت دولت بود. عوامل مختلفي در اين موضوع تاثير گذار بود و به گسترش آن كمك مي كرد. به نظر مي رسد سهم دولت در اين جريان بيش از ساير عوامل موثر بوده است؛ زيرا ماموران اداري و حكام و كارگزاران بيش از سايرين در اين مبادلات غير انساني سهيم هستند. بررسي و ارائه ي توضيح پيرامون 3 سند تاريخي با موضوع زن و دخترفروشي، در بخشي از شمال خراسان بحث ما در اين مقاله خواهد بود. اين اوراق؛ جزء اسناد وزارت خارجه ي كشورمان و مربوط به دوره ي قاجاريه است، كه براي نخستين بار مطرح مي شود. بي قانوني و فقدان حقوق شهروندي در ايران عصر قاجار از بررسي موردي اين اسناد بيشتر آشكار مي شود. شمال خراسان نمونه كوچكي از وجود رفتاري نامناسب در نقاط مختلف جامعه ايران بود كه شايد بتوان آن را نوعي تجارت انسان در قرون جديد ناميد.

In the history of Iran and during the time of the Qajar dynasty, one of the phenomena that threatened the social immunity of the Iranian society was the trade of women from the low classes of society. This was done for a number of reasons, namely inability to pay off taxes, extreme poverty, and the lack of immunity for the Iranian society. At times, this took place while the authorities being indifferent and while at others, it was done with their aid and assistance. There were many causes that led to this situation or exacerbated it. In my opinion, the growing role of the government was arguably the most important of all, because governmental authorities and officials more and more took part in this type of trade. My focus in this paper will be examining three historical documents regarding the trading of women in the northern region of Khurasan. The following documents are considered official documents preserved by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of our country regarding the Qajar period, and this is the first time that they are being observed and examined publicly. The lack of social justice and rights of citizens of Iran during this period will become clear as we examine these documents. The manifestation of this issue in northern Khurasan is only a small sample of the unjust situation that existed regarding this issue during those times throughout the whole country; an issue that is referred to as human trafficking or the trade of humans in this day and age.
