The legal status of prostitution in Africa varies widely. It is frequently common in practice, partially driven by the widespread poverty in many sub-Saharan African countries, and is one of the drivers for the prevalence of AIDS in Africa. (36.9% in sub-Saharan Africa) Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire permit the operations of brothels. In other countries, prostitution may be legal, but brothels are not allowed to operate. In some countries where prostitution is illegal, the law is rarely enforced. This page uses the UN system of subregions.

dbo:abstract
  • Le statut juridique de la prostitution en Afrique varie considérablement. Il est souvent courant dans la pratique, en partie en raison de la pauvreté généralisée dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique subsaharienne, et est l'un des moteurs de la prévalence du SIDA en Afrique (36,9 % en Afrique subsaharienne). Le Sénégal et la Côte d'Ivoire autorisent l'exploitation de bordels. Dans d'autres pays, la prostitution peut être légale, mais les bordels ne sont pas autorisés à fonctionner. Dans certains pays où la prostitution est illégale, la loi est rarement appliquée. Les relations sexuelles transactionnelles sont particulièrement courantes en Afrique subsaharienne, où elles impliquent souvent des relations entre des hommes plus âgés et des femmes ou des filles plus jeunes. Dans de nombreux cas, la femme dans une relation sexuelle transactionnelle peut rester fidèle à son petit ami, alors qu'il peut avoir plusieurs partenaires sexuels. Dans ces deux cas, le sexe transactionnel présente un risque accru d'infection par le VIH. En conséquence, le sexe transactionnel est un facteur impliqué dans la propagation du SIDA en Afrique. (fr)
  • The legal status of prostitution in Africa varies widely. It is frequently common in practice, partially driven by the widespread poverty in many sub-Saharan African countries, and is one of the drivers for the prevalence of AIDS in Africa. (36.9% in sub-Saharan Africa) Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire permit the operations of brothels. In other countries, prostitution may be legal, but brothels are not allowed to operate. In some countries where prostitution is illegal, the law is rarely enforced. Transactional sexual relationships are particularly common in sub-Saharan Africa, where they often involve relationships between older men and younger women or girls. In many cases, the woman in a transactional sexual relationship may remain faithful to her boyfriend, while he may have multiple sexual partners. In both of these cases, transactional sex presents an increased risk of HIV infection. As a result, transactional sex is a factor involved in the spread of AIDS in Africa.

  • La prostituzione in Africa è illegale nella maggior parte dei paesi, è tuttavia spesso ampiamente diffusa nella pratica a causa delle difficili condizioni economiche della popolazione; ciò risulta anche essere la maggior causa di diffusione del virus HIV che porta all'AIDS nel continente: secondo i dati del 2012 almeno il 36,9% della popolazione di colore è affetta da HIV o sieropositiva. L'enorme divario sociale esistente a causa di guerre civili o collasso economico in varie nazioni africane ha causato un ulteriore aumento dei tassi di prostituzione all'interno di quei paesi. Il rapporto sessuale a pagamento è particolarmente comune, dove spesso giovani donne o ragazze si trovano coinvolte in rapporti con uomini più anziani. (it)
