 | It has been suggested that Sex trade (Canada) be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2008. |
Prostitution in Canada is not illegal but many of the activities surrounding it are illegal such as brothel owing and street prostitution.[1][2][3]
The legal definition of a prostitute is a person of either sex who engages in prostitution, although the term ‘prostitute’ is not defined in the Criminal Code.
Prior to 1972 only women could be charged with working as a prostitute.
There are 4 laws governing prostitution related activities:
- s. 210 Bawdy House
- s. 211 Transporting a person to bawdy-house
- s.212 Procuring
- s. 213 Communicating for the purposes of prostitution
