Prostitution law

Prostitution laws vary by country and region. Generally, these laws regulate whether buying or selling sex is legal, illegal, or partially tolerated. Some places criminalize selling sex, others criminalize buying it, while some have decriminalized or legalized certain aspects, like in regulated brothels. These laws aim to balance safety, morality, and public health concerns, and often include measures for protection, prevention of exploitation, and health regulations. The legal framework can impact how sex workers operate and their access to rights and protections.
