[17] Prostitution is legal in Portugal, but it is illegal for third parties to profit, promote, encourage, or facilitate someone else`s prostitution. Therefore, organized prostitution (brothels, prostitution networks or other forms of pimping) is prohibited. Although the number of workers in Portugal is notoriously difficult to estimate, in the mid-2000s the number of prostitutes was estimated at 28,000, of whom at least 50% were foreigners. Online gambling was only legalized in Portugal in 2015. The new law meant that all online gambling operators would have to obtain a license and pay taxes to the Portuguese state.

Perhaps just as nudity is “commonly accepted” here (it appears in daytime shows that children might see, as well as pornography on unblocked/unpaid channels at night), prostitution also seems to be a less controversial fact. Yes. The act of prostitution is legal in Portugal, but organized prostitution is not. This means that it is illegal for third parties to profit, promote, encourage or facilitate someone else`s prostitution. There are also “unofficial” brothels dedicated to prostitution but disguised as discos, inns or restaurants. There are also many other forms of prostitution, including escort services and what is advertised on the Internet or in magazines. There is a form of prostitution that is often hidden under the umbrella of escort agencies that provide attractive escorts for social occasions; These escorts provide additional sexual services to clients.

My mother had some students at her language centre in the Azores, Portugal, who need to learn English to go to other countries as they are part of an international prostitution ring.

Lisbon`s Eduardo VII Park[13] has gained notoriety for all forms of prostitution, including homosexual and underage prostitution, as well as Monsanto Forest Park, usually at night.
[4] Transsexual and transgender prostitution also exists, especially by Brazilian transvestites, at street level in some designated areas (e.g. the Condé Redondo neighborhood in Lisbon), but also via websites. Gay male prostitution also occurs in a variety of contexts, from gay bars to nightclubs and resorts. Most major cities in Portugal have an area where gay prostitutes regularly make themselves available to potential male customers passing by by car. As in most other European countries, opinions on sex work and its regulation are widely divided. For example, a representative of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women stated in 2002 that “voluntary prostitution does not exist. About 90% of prostitutes who participated in a recent study said they wanted to change their lives. In many cases, prostitution was not a matter of women`s choice, but of violence and human trafficking. [9] Ethnographic research on street prostitution, conducted by Alexandra Oliveira of the University of Porto [22], led the researcher to argue that prostitution should be legalized in order to improve the situation of women. [3] [23] [24] [25] “The data indicate that the majority of the Portuguese population is in favor of legalizing the practice of prostitution, which is why it is also essential that the legislator recognizes it as such and distinguishes it from sexual exploitation practices, which are in fact criminal,” says the investigator.

In Portugal, prostitution occurs in different environments.
