Legal status

As brothels are legal in some countries, they are also illegal and have criminal liability in others. In some countries, places such as massage parlors are also allowed to be used as brothels. The Netherlands and South Korea are examples of these. Again in Turkey, brothels are under police protection and no one under the age of 18 is allowed. Women's health check-ups are regular. The brothel is under government control and has licenses. Working women are called workers.[1] Prostitution is legal in Turkey and is regulated by Article 227 of the Turkish Penal Code Law No. 5237. However, those who encourage prostitution and facilitate their way are punished with imprisonment from two to four years[2]

Sex worker (derogatory and/or slang: prostitute) is someone who makes money by providing sexual services[1]. Although the term sex worker is sometimes used synonymously with words such as prostitute, rent, gigolo, academics use "sex worker" to mean all people involved in the sex industry, such as strippers, porn actors, telephone sex workers. Feminist academics and writers generally use this concept as a reaction to the negative connotations that the male-dominated society ascribes to the word "prostitute" and its use to humiliate[2], and to show their respect for the labor of these people, some of whom are also sex workers[3], instead of "sex work". They use the term "worker".

Status

The legal status of sex workers may change depending on the country and region. In some places some of these activities are legal while in others they are illegal (example: in some countries prostitution is done under government control, in others it is completely illegal). In countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey, separate streets or houses where sex workers can work are allocated and are partially legal. Even in countries such as the United States, England, Ireland and Finland where advanced sex work is legal, sex workers are often subjected to ill-treatment. Sex work is an area where there is no job security, and workers are excluded from social circles due to social norms. The common conclusion in all regions is that this sector is open to abuse.

Sex worker wants to have basic human and labor rights like other working people (Weitzer 1991). The Canadian Sex Workers Association states that the regulation in the country is heavier for sex workers than other branches of work, the protection is insufficient in matters such as employment/removal, and the right to establish a professional association is more difficult.

Legal status

Sex workers in the Netherlands, Germany and New Zealand are recognized by the state and protected more strictly than in other countries. This protection prevents both workers and customers from acting more comfortably and dangerously (eg use of condoms, sexual assault).

Growing sex tourism is a problem for the sex industry. The illegal employment and distribution of underage children[4] is a serious problem. Legal sex tourism, on the other hand, contributes to the economy of some cities and these regions are known for these aspects and attract tourists.

Demography of sex workers

The majority of sex workers are heterosexual young women.[5] The number of sex workers in transvestites and transsexuals is higher than in heterosexual women. HIV transmission rates of transgender sex workers are also higher, and in a study conducted on female Indian sex workers, illiteracy and low social status[6] were found to be common.

Pissing or bulldog is the job of providing sex workers for sexual intercourse to customers in return for money.[1] The person who performs this action is called a pimp, oğraş[2][3] or a conversation crier. According to the TDK Current Turkish Dictionary, the word pimp was taken from Armenian, but in the 18th-19th article of the TDK Search Dictionary. There is the following explanation in the Burhan of the 19th century: "Pejvend Kapu is called a tailpipe... and it is said to a person that the heirloom that will be his wife will wait for the kapu neck and be busy inside with bigâne and busy with pleasure. Pimp and corporate and deyius and godi are called. "[4] There is also the word pāzenek pimp in Persian.[5] Apart from the intermediary activity, the pimp may also undertake duties such as promotion, physical protection and providing a place. Like prostitution, the legality of pimping differs between countries. to pimp as an example, bringing a sex worker to a country and directing them to have sex, running a brothel, transporting the sex worker to the place where the relationship will take place, and making money from the prostitution of others.

Prostitution is a business that involves sexual intercourse in return for a certain payment. The sex worker who does this job is called a "prostitute". Although pornographic film actors have sex for money, they are not defined as prostitutes because they sell the sex service to the audience, not their partners, but porn acting is also included in the scope of sex work.

Name

The word "prostitute" is derived from the Arabic word فاحشه (faḥisha), meaning "raging" or "shameless". It was first used in Turkish in the Divan literature of Enderunlu Vasıf.[1] Slang words are also used for prostitutes, such as the word "bitch", which derives from the Persian روسپی (rospī).[2][3]

The second meaning of the word, "extremism and excessive behavior"[4], is gradually disappearing from use in modern Turkish.

Legal status

Soi Cowboy neighborhood in Bangkok. Prostitution in Thailand - although illegal - is tolerated by the authorities and the country is now one of the world's largest sex tourism destinations.

The legal status of prostitution varies from country to country. At one end of the spectrum, prostitution is punishable by the death penalty, while at the other end it is partially or fully legal.

Prostitution in Germany[5], Austria[6], Bangladesh[7], Bolivia[8], Ecuador[9], Netherlands[10], Switzerland[11], Colombia[12], Latvia[13], Lebanon [14], Hungary[15], Mexico[16], Panama[17], Paraguay[18], Peru[19], Senegal[20], Turkey[21][22], Uruguay[23], Venezuela[24] ], New Zealand[25] and Greece[26] are subject to legal and country-specific regulations. In the United States, the legal status of prostitution is decided by state governments, and currently prostitution is only legal in certain counties of the state of Nevada (not including major cities such as Las Vegas).[27] In Australia, too, the legal status of prostitution varies by state: in the states of Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, prostitution is legal and brothels must hold licenses[28]; In Western Australia, although prostitution and brothels were not regulated at a legal level, informal agreements existed between police and brothels; In the Northern Territories and Tasmania prostitution as a self-employment is legal but promoting prostitution is illegal; Attempts have been made to legalize prostitution in South Australia, but all have been unsuccessful.[29]

In a few countries (see map below), prostitution, i.e. sex for money, is not prohibited, but prostitution-related activities such as owning/working in a brothel or chattering may be illegal, and the scope and severity of these laws vary by country. For example, in Brazil, it is perfectly legal for adults to work as prostitutes and prostitutes may receive state pensions[30], but it is illegal to operate a brothel or otherwise employ a prostitute.[31] On the other hand, in some countries such as Canada, sex for money is legal, but the aforementioned activities and other activities such as seeking clients in public are illegal[32], so prostitution can be difficult without breaking a law.

Prostitution counts as violence against women under Swedish law, and a law was passed in 1999 banning paying for sex without prohibiting prostitution; In this case, the customer, not the prostitute, is considered guilty.[33][34] Similar laws were enacted in Norway and Iceland in 2009.[35][36]

Unlike the aforementioned countries, prostitution is illegal in most countries. In nearly every Muslim country, most African and Asian countries, and many Eastern European countries, prostitution is illegal and the penalties are fines (eg Russia[37]), imprisonment (eg Afghanistan[38]), flogging (eg Saudi Arabia[38]). ) or in some countries such as Sudan.[39]

Despite laws prohibiting prostitution, law enforcement against prostitution may be lax or virtually non-existent. For example, in Thailand, prostitution is legally prohibited, but in practice it is tolerated by the authorities[38]; Today, Thailand is one of the world's top destinations for sex tourism, and red light neighborhoods such as Soi Cowboy in Bangkok are world-renowned.[40][41]

Prostitution is legal in Turkey and it is regulated by Article 227[1] of the Turkish Penal Code Law No. 5237. However, those who encourage prostitution and facilitate their way are punished with imprisonment from two to four years. Also, prostitutes should not be strangers. According to Article 8 of the Passport Law[2], people who are not allowed to enter Turkey include "prostitutes and those who make a living by prostituting women, those who trade white women and smugglers of any kind". Brothels are licensed in Turkey, the regulation regulating this is "Gen. Provisions to which women and brothels are subject and the Regulation on Combating Venereal Diseases Transmitted by Prostitution.[3]

Recently, in big cities, prostitutes have been penalized in accordance with Article 32 of the Law on Misdemeanors [4], based on the authority given by the Regulation on Combating Venereal Diseases.[5] Article 32 of the Misdemeanors Law provides for "an administrative fine to be imposed on a person who violates the lawful order given by the competent authorities due to judicial proceedings or for the purpose of protecting public order or general health". While penalties are imposed on promoters and customers, not prostitutes, except for immigrants, in modern countries, the rationale for using this law against prostitutes in Turkey is controversial.[6] In addition, illegal prostitution activities are punishable by a maximum prison sentence of 1 year. In some cities such as Ankara and Bursa, the reason for the demolition of brothels is not because of a crime, but because their lands were expropriated.[7][8]

Striptease clubs are available in Turkey. Strip clubs must also be licensed, strippers must be registered and have regular health checks. All persons entering strip clubs must be legally at least 18 years old.

In 2008, activists and sex workers in Turkey decided to establish Turkey's first sex workers union.[9]
