Analysis of the regulation of prostitution and its influence on human rights.

Abstract

Different cultural, social, and legal visions are manifested in the diversity of regulations on prostitution in different countries. There are three main approaches: criminalization, legalization and decriminalization. Many countries opt for criminalization, seeking to eliminate prostitution through legal sanctions. However, this strategy often marginalizes sex workers, exposing them to abuse and limiting their access to health and justice services. Legalization, on the other hand, integrates sex work into the formal economy, providing legal protection, although its success depends on proper implementation. Decriminalization eliminates legal sanctions and adopts a more humane approach. This research analyzes these approaches and their impact on hum an rights.
