sex work legislation

Sex work legislation varies by country, but generally, it defines whether exchanging sex for money is legal or illegal. Some places criminalize selling sex, buying sex, or both, while others have decriminalized or regulated it to reduce harm and protect workers’ rights. Laws aim to balance public safety, health, and individual autonomy, often differing based on cultural, social, and legal perspectives. Understanding local laws is essential, as they can affect safety, access to health services, and legal consequences for those involved.
