Prostitution Policy

Prostitution policy refers to the laws and regulations that govern sex work within a society. These policies determine whether selling sexual services is legal, illegal, or regulated in specific ways, often balancing issues like personal choice, public health, safety, and morality. Some places criminalize buying or selling sex, while others decriminalize or regulate it to reduce harm and improve safety for sex workers. Policies may include health checks, registration, or zoning rules. The key goal is to manage prostitution in a manner that protects individual rights, public health, and social well-being.
