The prostitution law varies throughout the
world. In some countries there may be complete ban on selling and buying
prostitution services while on others there may be ban on either. It varies on
the basis extent of regulation of the laws and its aspect thereof.
Communication between the client and the worker, place for carrying
prostitution activities and the involvement of other parties are few kinds on
which there are variations in the laws.
In practice it is difficult to keep a hold
on prostitution activities, even by making more and more stringent laws which
includes capital punishment and incarceration. Prostitution is considered as a
social stigma in various parts of the world. There is a death penalty for this
offence in most of the middle-east countries as well as in few other countries.
Prostitution is illegal in majority of
Africa, but the poverty driven people are being forced to adopt this profession
in various regions of Africa which has resulted into widespread of HIV/AIDS.
Whereas in Asia, there is a big discrepancy in the laws which are there in the
books and the actual practice. Thailand is an example of such kind and it is
being considered as a destination for sex tourism. In Japan also there are
partial restrictions on prostitution.
In Europe the position is different from
country to country, in European Union, prostitution is legal but associated
activities are illegal. In United Kingdom, sex for money is legal but sex with
a worker who has been forced into this profession is illegal. In Germany,
prostitution is legal.
This way the prostitution laws vary from
nation to nation throughout the world.
