Ukraine Starts Talking about Legalization of Sex Work Again
In July and August police busted several premises that were used to provide sex services in Kiev. In one case, the sex workers were arrested and they faced administrative fines, in the other case, the owners are under criminal investigation. At the same time Amnesty International voted for decriminalization of all the aspects of sex work, and shortly after the head of Kiev police Aleksandr Tereshchuk supported the idea of legalization of sex work. Moreover, on August 30 a petition was launched on the e-petition website of the President of Ukraine.
