Prostitution in Tunisia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prostitution in Tunisia is regulated[1][2][3] and confined to two small areas, one in Sfax and the other, Sidi Abdallah Guech in Tunis. Outside these two areas prostitution is illegal.[2][3][4]
Although the number of registered prostitutes is low, many work illegally, especially since the closure of most of the red-light districts as a consequence of the Jasmine Revolution in 2011.[5] UNAIDS estimate there to be around 25,000 prostitutes in the country.[6] Sex workers and NGOs report law enforcement to be abusive, inconsistent and corrupt.[5][3]
