Countries in the world where bodies are sold openly, governments also allow

Prostitution is Legal in which Countries: It is said to be dirty but business. Despite all the laws and strictness, the business of prostitution is flourishing in many countries. This work has never been seen with respect since ancient times. Many countries have banned it, but in some countries it is legal. The country has strict health and safety standards aimed at protecting both sex workers and customers. Before we move on, let me tell you some statistics. According to a study, 53 out of 100 countries are legal, which means that the total population is 2.93 billion (51%), while prostitution is legally legal in 12 countries, making it a population of 698.87 million (12%). This makes up a population of 2.13 billion (37%).

The percentage of countries fully legalizing prostitution is low, but the number of countries adopting alternative legal frameworks to overcome the complexities associated with this profession is increasing. Now know about the countries where prostitution is not a crime.

New Zealand

New Zealand has been one of the countries where prostitution has been legal since 2003. The Prostitution Reform Act 2003 removed the legal obligations associated with this profession. A Prostitution Law Review Committee was set up for the welfare of sex workers. Even licensed brothels operate under public health and employment laws, which means sex workers enjoy the same social benefits as other employees. There are more than 8,000 sex workers in New Zealand.

Australia

Prostitution is legal in some states and illegal in others. Historically, prostitution law in Australia was primarily a matter for state and territorial governments, which led to different legal perspectives across the country. In some places it has been made non-criminal, while in other parts it is illegal. The same goes for brothel ownership. According to a report, the market size of the brothel keeping and sex worker services industry grew by 19.5% in 2023.

Austria

In 1975, prostitution was made illegal. Sex workers have to register themselves and have periodic checkups. For this work, they should be above 18 years of age and they also have to pay tax. According to 2022 statistics, there are 5,279 registered sex workers in Austria.

Bangladesh

In India's neighboring country, prostitution is also legal but not for men. Various aspects of prostitution have been criminalised under provisions of Bangladesh's penal code, including alluring prostitution, running brothels and living on the proceeds of prostitution. There are 20 brothel villages in the country. The largest of these is Daulatdia, which has about 1,300 sex workers, one of the largest brothels in the world.

Colombia

Prostitution is legal in Colombia. This business is spread on a large scale in Cartagena and Barranquilla. Colombia has faced challenges associated with sex trafficking, and efforts are being made to combat human trafficking and provide assistance to victims. UNAIDS estimates that there are 7,218 prostitutes in the country.
