Part 1:
WORLDWIDE OUTLOOK ON PROSTITUTION:

The most popular stereotype of hookers is that they are all street walkers willing to accept a few dollars for their services, drug addicted and controlled by pimps. In real life, this “oldest profession” falls into a few categories. Yes, there are the streetwalkers whose lives are awful, however, there are also those working girls that provide sexual favours in massage parlours, hotels and out of their own apartments and at the end of the spectrum you find working girls working for themselves and charging sums of money that can run into thousands of dollars for a night or even an hour...

sex-work is still a crime in some countries but there are countries like Amsterdam that took a stand to officially legalise sex-work , The Dutch legalized sex-work in the mid-1800s but it wan not until the 1980s that sex work was recognized as a legally acceptable profession, bans on brothels and pimping were lifted and the industry is now controlled by labour law.prostitutes in Holland are registered workers, municipalities are responsible for issuing their licences and conducting inspections to ensure safe working conditions.

In Germany sex-work is legal and regulated, brothels are registered businesses requiring appropriate liquor and food licensing, if served, though surprisingly a brothel licence isn’t necessary, hookers pay income taxes and must charge a value added tax (VAT) for their services.

In most parts however, prostitution has no clear definition and although its not promoted openly, its not criminalised either, in these countries you will not find people serving prison sentences for sex work even when there are rare police arrests.

In other places, sex work itself may be legal, but many activities that surround it (like operating a brothel, pimping, and soliciting in a public place) are illegal, often making it complicated for people to engage in it without breaking any law, this is the case in the UK, Italy and France.

In some parts women who work lawfully enjoy huge benefits: better access to health care, protection from violent customers and protection from exploitation. Antwerp has apparently one of the best bordellos in Europe, equipped with their own police station and high tech sensors.

by keeping it illegal, America perpetuates an unsafe and unequal system that stigmatises and exploits sex workers, not to mention, there is widespread evidence that making sex work legal has significant public health benefits. Legalizing sex work is a controversial subject in most places and in these places, some argue that decriminalizing prostitution promotes an industry that degrades and abuses people, especially women. This may be a fair point but if you look at America, by keeping prostitution illegal it has created an environment in which sex workers are subjected to violence, disease, ridicule and inequality.
