Prostitution in Israel is legal, but organized prostitution in the form of brothels and pimping is prohibited. == History == Prostitution was legalised in Israel in 1949 under the ''Prostitution and Abomination Act'', although homosexual prostitution was not legalised till 1954. However in 1962 indoor prostitution but not street prostitution was prohibited and is controlled by the ''Israeli Criminal Law'' 1966, Sections 199-202. However indoor prostitution has continued to thrive. (Amir 2004) It was not perceived as a problem till the 1970s, (Cnaan 1982) and prostitution policy has been described as 'benign neglect'. (Amir 2004) A 1975 inquiry (Ben-Eato) recommended legalisation but this was not implemented. (Cnaan 1982) In the 1990s, as in other countries, trafficking in women became a political issue in women's movements in Israel, who engaged in political lobbying for legislative action. (Amir 2004) In 2003, Israel passed a law that would allow the state to confiscate the profits of traffickers, but watchdog groups claim it is rarely enforced. In 2007 a ban on advertising was debated.〔(Selling their bodies and their souls. Haaretz July 12 2007 )〕 In December 2009, a bill outlawing purchase of sexual services was introduced into the Israeli parliament. 〔(Knesset bill filed to make hiring of prostitutes illegal. Jerusalem Post Dec 20 2009 )〕 In February 2012 another draft bill received cabinet approval.〔(Ruth Eglash. Should Israel Make Paying for Sex a Criminal Offense? Huffington Post Feb 4 2012 )〕 〔(Israel cabinet approves bill that criminalizes soliciting prostitution. Haaretz Feb 12 2012 )〕 Despite the penal code using the services of a prostitute carries widespread legitimacy in Israel, and social norms distinguish between prostitution and trafficking.〔https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=-5WyPfynlwMC&pg=PA419&dq=sacred+prostitution&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDIQ6AEwA2oVChMItoKei4uAyAIVgzgUCh193gGj#v=onepage&q=sacred%20prostitution&f=false〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prostitution in Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
