Prostitution in Uruguay

Prostitution in Uruguay was legislated in 2002 through the sex work law (17.515).^[1] Before that, prostitution was unlegislated but it was not illegal, since the constitution allows any activity that is not forbidden by law.^[2] Prostitution is currently not a subject of debate.

UNAIDS estimate there to be 8,195 prostitutes in Uruguay.^[3]
