The Canada’s prostitution laws which are prevailing currently
in the country do not intend to make prostitution illegal. In fact the
activities relating to prostitution are illegal. Those activities which are a
threat to the public order and are offensive to the public morals and decency
are been prohibited, under the powers of the federal government.
The activities which are illegal under the provisions
include:
- Owning, occupying, managing, leasing or being found in a bawdy house
- Living on the income of prostitution
- Procuring
- Communication in public place for prostitution purpose
- Person under the age of 18 years paying for sex
- Transporting some person to a bawdy house or for the purpose of exploitation
The above mentioned activities are covered under
sections 210 to 213 of Criminal Code of Canada.
