Portuguese sex industry: 28,000 prostitutes, half of them foreigners, a service fee of 20 euros raises social concern
Portugal, a pleasant European country, has recently attracted a lot of attention with a piece of news: according to statistics, there are 28,000 prostitutes in Portugal, half of whom are from foreign countries, and the service fee is as low as 20 euros, which is the lowest in Western Europe. The sheer size of this sex industry and the low cost of its services have given rise to strong concern and reflection in society, and it is necessary to delve into the reasons behind this phenomenon and its impact on society.
First, let's focus on the size of the sex industry in Portugal. The sheer number of 28,000 prostitutes may be linked to a number of factors. First of all, the sex industry is legal in Portugal, which could lead to more practitioners getting involved. Secondly, in some economically lagging regions at home and abroad, some women may choose to engage in the sex industry because of the pressure to make a living, which is also one of the reasons for the surge. In addition, the predominance of foreign prostitutes may have something to do with the fact that Portugal is a major European destination for immigrants, attracting women from all over the world to the sex industry.
At the same time, the 20 euro service charge is undoubtedly quite low in Western Europe. There may be a number of factors behind this low price. First of all, it may be because of the fierce competition, prostitutes have lowered their service fees in order to compete for customers. Secondly, Portugal is relatively economically underdeveloped and has a relatively low income level, which may make the demand for sexual services more price-conscious, which in turn encourages prostitutes to lower the cost of their services. However, this low-cost service may also have a series of negative effects, such as reducing the survival standard of practitioners and increasing social health problems.
The fact that half of the prostitutes are foreigners deserves further study. This may reflect the complex relationship between global industry and international migration. On the one hand, women from other countries may choose to work in the sex industry in Portugal due to financial pressures or other reasons. On the other hand, it could also mean the interconnectedness of the international sex industry, with some of the prostitutes likely to migrate to Portugal for better economic opportunities. The nature of this international industry makes it necessary to solve problems with greater international cooperation.
This phenomenon may have a multifaceted impact on society and requires attention. First, the low cost of services may make the sex industry more prevalent in Portugal, raising concerns about sexual morality and ethics in society. Secondly, low-cost services may increase the livelihood pressure of employees, which may lead to some illegal acts. In addition, the presence of a large number of foreign prostitutes can also lead to a clash of multicultural and values in society, requiring better integration and coexistence.
We need to find a solution to the phenomenon of the sex industry in Portugal with an open and rational attitude, through in-depth social investigation and comprehensive analysis. First, the government should strengthen the regulation of the sex industry to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of workers and reduce the risks of illegal trade and sex workers. At the same time, there is a need to raise awareness of the sex industry and reduce discrimination and prejudice by strengthening social education. As an open country, Portugal should guide the development of the sex industry in a more reasonable and healthy way, and make a more constructive contribution to the harmony and stability of society.
