Prostitution in the Dominican Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prostitution in the Dominican Republic is legal, but related activities such as brothel-keeping or pimping are illegal.[1][2] However, prostitution laws are generally not enforced.[1][2][3] It is estimated that between 6,000 and 10,000 women work as prostitutes in the country,[4] with many of the sex workers coming from neighboring Haiti.[4] The population of illegal Haitian migrants in the country is particularly vulnerable to exploitation.[5][6]
