Over $180 billion is spent each year on the global sex trade, with over 10 million women providing services as prostitutes. Some are forced into the trade due to human traffickers, while others enter the trade due to financial hardships…
The Netherlands began regulating prostitution in 2000, the sex trade was more or less tolerated for decades before. Prostitution has been legal in Switzerland since 1942 and is protected by the constitution.
Europe's 'biggest brothel' is Germany. Sex work was tolerated as early as the 1800s, the government formally legalized it in 2002. The trade has since exploded into a $16.3 billion a year business with as many as over 1 million sex workers [USA estimated number of prostitutes is the same].
The idea behind legalizing the trade was that it would root out organized crime, limit human trafficking, improve worker access to healthcare, and make sex work safer.
What is the story in USA?
What criminal activities are associated with the ilegality of prostitution?
