Is selling sex criminalised? Selling sex is technically legal in Germany although it is regulated at the local level. Local authorities/cities can place restrictions on how and where sex work takes place. If sex workers work outside of these restrictions then they are liable to fines and potentially imprisonment. There are only a few places in Germany (Berlin one example) where sex work can take place freely. Most other cities regulate it and restrict where and how it can happen. There are some places where sex work is effectively totally illegal because the local regulations are so stringent. Under new laws sex workers are required to register with the authorities...more

According to the U.S. State Department's 2023 TIP report, Germany ranks as a Tier 1 country (85). The report stated that while the government meets the minimum standards, it prosecuted and convicted fewer traffickers and judges continued to issue lenient sentences, resulting in 74 percent of convicted traffickers receiving fully suspended sentences, fines, or less than one years’ imprisonment, which undercut efforts to hold traffickers accountable, weakened deterrence, created potential security and safety concerns for victims, and was not equal to the seriousness of the crime. TRAFF-Practice data reveals that human traffickers continue to target domestic and foreign victims in Germany, particularly in Germany's red light districts. All of this...more
