Zurich Escorts

Switzerland has a well-organized and efficient approach to managing the world's oldest profession – prostitution. It has been legal in the country since 1942, but like many things in Switzerland, it comes with thorough regulations aimed at protecting sex workers. Over 20,000 registered prostitutes, spanning all genders, operate in the country.

Switzerland's pragmatic attitude towards sex work is reflected in several key aspects:

1. No Stigma Attached: In Switzerland, sex work is considered a legitimate service job without any shame or disgrace. Attempts to ban prostitution have faced backlash, with organizations upholding the rights of sex workers.

2. Regulation and Taxation: The country prefers bringing sex work into the open to regulate and control it, preventing issues like exploitation and human trafficking. Sex workers, like other independent contractors, pay taxes and contribute to Social Security funds. The only requirement is regular health checks and registration with public health authorities.

3. Prostitute Union: Since 2012, prostitutes in Geneva have had their own trade union representing their interests. The union collaborates with city authorities and police to improve work conditions and earnings.

4. Government-Sponsored Facilities: In response to crowded streets, Zurich voters approved a plan in 2012 to allocate funds for drive-in structures away from residential areas. These facilities aim to enhance sex workers' working conditions, including health and safety measures.

5. Social Need Recognition: In a dispute in Arbon in 2018, residents complained about a local brothel's impact on the neighborhood. However, authorities allowed the brothel to continue operating, emphasizing its contribution to fulfilling a social need in the community.

Switzerland's practical and tolerant approach to prostitution aims to prevent issues associated with the illegal sex trade, promoting safety, health, and the rights of sex workers.

A top Swiss court has confirmed a fraud conviction for a client of a prostitute who left without paying. This is being hailed as a significant change in case law for sex workers, who have gained the protection of the criminal justice system.

The man had argued on appeal that the immoral nature of prostitution absolved him from criminal wrongdoing. But the Federal Administrative Court in St. Gallen on Thursday confirmed a suspended 50-day sentence and fine of CHF300 ($333).

A lawyer for the Zurich sex industry is taking legal action against new tracing rules being implemented for prostitutes working in the Swiss canton.

Starting on October 1st, Zurich has mandated stricter protection rules in the brothels.

Sex workers must now not only collect their customers’ ID and contact details, but also check on the spot whether the cell phone numbers provided by the clients are correct.
