| Abstract: | This study aims to see the reality of the Islamic banking industry in Algeria, by shedding light on the reality of Islamic windows in traditional banks. We also focused on the experience of Al Baraka Bank.To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical approach was used to try to understand the experience of Islamic banks in Algeria by studying the performance and reality of Al Baraka Bank, as well as the Islamic windows adopted by traditional banks. Information was collected and analyzed using multiple tools and approaches.The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that Islamic banking in Algeria is still somewhat weak compared to some countries that have made great strides in this field, and also compared to the traditional banking reality in Algeria, as it did not exceed 3% of the total financing volume, despite the efforts and attempts made. By the Bank of Algeria to strengthen Islamic banking, and in order for this type of financing to be promoted, development requirements must be taken into account and horizons studied that make it an Islamic banking industry in line with the reality of the Algerian banking system. |

| Abstract: | Although Bangladesh is a constitutionally Islamic country, some brothels are regulated by state law. But these brothels are located in the suburbs, and there were legal brothels around the capital, which no longer exist. Thus, prostitution is observed in a variety of ways, including in residential hotels, resorts, homes, and open spaces. As prostitution and trafficking are inseparable, this paper adopts a quantitative approach to measure the socioeconomic variables associated with prostitution and trafficking in children in the capital city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The data for this study were collected from 385 respondents, and the questionnaire format was open-ended. The proposed conceptual model is presented in a way that includes sociocultural and economic factors influencing prostitution. To examine the model, a three-level research design was applied. The sociodemographic data of the respondents were collected and analyzed in this study. This study finds that the significant economic factors are poverty and lack of employment opportunities. Moreover, sociocultural variables are closely associated with rape, harassment, divorce, insufficient support from household members, living in vulnerable conditions, social instability, lifestyle, and gender violence. These findings emphasize the need to implement existing anti-trafficking laws and raise awareness of children in Bangladesh to stop child trafficking for sex work. |
