"Is selling sex criminalised? Unable to find any clause in penal code to suggest that selling sex itself is illegal but soliciting in a public place "for the cause of debauchery" is criminalised. "Operating" a 'prostitution' business is also criminalised, unclear if that applies to independent sex workers but might do. Is buying sex criminalised? No. Is organising/managing criminalised? Yes, all aspects of managing/organising are criminalised. "Pimping" is criminalised, which includes helping, assisting or protecting 'prostitution of others'; living on the earnings; hire/train/divert someone for 'prostitution'; acting as an intermediary; brothel-keeping is also criminalised" (para 1-3).
