Prostitution is legal,
brothels and pimping are prohibited
but allowed to operate freely.

Today over 10,000 Prostitutes live or work
in Tel Aviv alone, many of them Israeli teens, soldiers, single mothers, college students, transvestites, illegal foreign workers, and drug addicts 
 

There are over 300 brothels in Tel Aviv alone,

and hundreds of escort parlors, private apartments, street workers and hotel escorts in all the major cities in Israel.

Clients who purchase sex come from all segments:

ages 13-90 years old, business executives/government leaders, ultra-religious/nonreligious, wealthy/poor, citizens/foreigners, male/female/trans, tourists/locals, police/mafia

25,000 FOREIGN WOMEN WERE TRAFFICKED-IN ILLEGALLY

 before 2007 – 15,000 are still here, without documents, health care or victim aid.
 

DAYTIME SEX WORK  is in much demand from 10am-6pm for domestic Israeli women who are mothers at night

                              

RABBIS OFTEN RECOMMEND or approve the purchase of sex with prostitutes due to strict religious sex limitations for married and single men
