The Countries With The Most Prostitutes
Denis Foynes- Every year, about 3 million people travel on sex tourism trips and this figure is on the rise. Currently, there are more than 25 organized sex tour companies based in Miami, New York, and San Diego. This trend looks unlikely to change anytime in the near future.
Here are the ten countries with the most sex workers per 10,000
people.
10. Thailand
45 sex workers per 10,000
Prostitution is actually illegal in Thailand, however in practice it
is tolerated and partly regulated.
9. Germany
49 sex workers per 10,000
Unlike other European Union countries, prostitution, even street
prostitution, is wide spread, organized, and legal in Germany. It’s
little wonder when you consider that organized prostitution in the
country dates back to the 1200’s AD.
8. Malaysia
52 sex workers per 10,000
Prostitution is huge in Malaysia, however the dark side is strong. The
United States has put Malaysia on the blacklist of countries with the
worst cases of human trafficking and human rights abuse, including
child prostitution.
7. Brazil
53 sex workers per 10,000
The act of prostitution itself (exchanging sex for money) in Brazil is
legal, but it is illegal to run a brothel or to employ prostitutes in
any other way.
6. China
60 sex workers per 10,000
Prostitution is illegal in China but has been relegated to the status
of a misdemeanor. Some researchers have conservatively estimated that
there are as many as 10 million active prostitutes in China at any
given time who contribute as much as five percent to the country’s
annual GDP as most of the earned income, although not taxed, goes back
into the economy through consumption.
5. Nigeria
63 sex workers per 10,000
A sex tourism market for divorced older western women is on the rise
in the country.
4. Philippines
85 sex workers per 10,000
The Philippines offers female company in the form of "bargirls". Girls
here often wear their "bargirl" ID tags in noticeable places, and are
supposed to be regularly tested for STDs.
3. Peru
102 sex workers per 10,000
Prostitution is legal for women over 18 years of age if they register
with municipal authorities and carry a health certificate, and
brothels must be licensed. Sadly, child prostitution in Peru has
doubled in recent years.
2. South Korea
110 sex workers per 10,000
Despite legal sanctions and police crackdowns, prostitution continues
to flourish in S Korea, while sex workers continue to actively resist
the state's activities.
1. Venezuela
119 sex workers per 10,000
Poor economic conditions in the country have tripled the number of sex
workers here; even so, only one fifth of the workers actually are born
in Venezuela.
