Thamel & Ratna Park Nightlife - Prostitution in Kathmandu, Nepal

Posted by Rajesh KC- September 15th, 2014 :


The Government of Nepal will never tolerate sex tourism but the issue has to be properly addressed. Prostitution carried out through illegal means is a risk to society. So it would be better to legalise prostitution and separate the red light zone. Legalisation of prostitution will provide legal protection and employment to the sex workers and in some way, will also help in minimising sex- related crimes. Besides that, the government should also provide sex education to sex workers on reproductive health; precautions and contraceptives use along with regular health check-up facilities. To avert the possibility of child prostitution the government should place a age bar along with the licensing system for sex workers.
