"As a result, prostitution is found in secluded areas just about everywhere and not just in these zones. This makes the police and local authorities fine and arrest people arbitrarily. They sometimes introduce a zone after arresting the prostitutes" (para 9). "In conclusion, prostitution is partly legal, but enforcement is a grey area and is often abused area by individual policemen" (para 10). "In Hungary usually fewer than ten cases of trafficking are prosecuted annually – although there are more prosecutions of some of the related crimes, such as procuring and exploitation. In 2018 there were 41 closed cases of child sexual exploitation, 143 of procurement and 23 of soliciting...more

"There are many extremely poor neighbourhoods that lack viable work options and where enslavement for physical labour is not rare" (para 3). "From this, you can imagine the desperation, lack of education, and the power dynamics in these areas. These areas are the main source of people who are sexually victimized and trafficked by the greed of criminals – some of whom are even relatives of the victim" (para 5). "In Hungary there are generations who have little choice but to follow their parents and become pimps or prostitutes themselves. Municipal workers in rural areas report frequently hearing this. It is an indication of the dynamics that perpetuate the system...more

"With the exception of procurement and brothel owning, prostitution is legal in Hungary if it takes place in so-called “tolerance-zones”. Local municipalities can implement these zones where they see fit, taking into account the proximity of government institutions. However, there are few tolerance zones, because whenever the municipality introduces one, local residents almost always protest against it" (para 8). "In conclusion, prostitution is partly legal, but enforcement is a grey area and is often abused area by individual policemen" (para 10).

"Sexual exploitation is the most common form of human trafficking and victims are typically 16–24 year-old girls and women. This is not surprising considering that today sex trafficking is one of the most profitable criminal acts and the younger the victim, the more profit the trafficker can hope for" (para 11).

"Illegal migration in the last years has not changed the situation much, generally both the traffickers and victims are Hungarian" (para 14). "According to Europol reports, one out of every five prostituted victims in Europe are Hungarian. The victims are most often lured by empty promises, or abducted, but in some cases they are sold by their own families to traffickers and are forced to “work” seven days a week in brothels in foreign countries. A US report found that a high proportion of Hungarian prostituted women are from the Roma minorities and that the Hungarian government does not do enough to prevent and tackle trafficking and to help the...more

"Another important housing difference between cohabiting and married couples is that married couples are usually joint homeowners. If a married person buys a house or an apartment during the marriage, half of the property automatically belongs to his or her spouse (as opposed to cases when one of the spouses inherited the home or if one partner bought it before getting married). Therefore, in case of a divorce, the former spouses have to sell the house or one partner has to buy the share of the other" (9).

"There is limited data available in terms of women’s access to land and non-land assets in the society in general. Pursuant to Article 27 (1) of the Family Act, all matrimonial property is held jointly by both spouses, although the new Civil Code is expected to overhaul this framework, as well as the law governing inheritance. However there is evidence that some gender disparities continue to exist in minority Roma communities. According to one report on the housing situation of Roma communities, the ownership of housing is largely in the hands of men, due to the presence of poverty in Roma communities as well as the patriarchal traditions within segments...more
