Switzerland
In Switzerland, for example, a federal law has allowed brothels since 1992. Prostitution is legal although its practice is curtailed by certain provisions and prohibited in some cantons.
Gilda, a member of the sex work union (STRASS), refers to the example of the canton of Geneva where prostitutes organize themselves through cooperatives. A system, which according to Gilda, works and could inspire France. That said, beware because "there is food and drink in the Swiss system! " She warned.
Sweden, the bad example?
In Sweden, since 1999, a single law praised love by punishing the customer.
Four years later, the results of this controversial legislation remain very mixed.
Indeed, no sentence of imprisonment has been pronounced to date. And only 200 clients, caught in the act of financial transaction with a girl of joy, were fined.
For Gilda, Sweden represents a "bad example"because its operating system promotes clandestine prostitution more than it frames and protects it.
