Prostitution in Ivory Coast

In Côte d'Ivoire, prostitution itself (exchanging sex for money) is legal, but associated activities, such as soliciting, pandering or running brothels, are illegal.[1] The civil war has left many women in need for wages, so some have resorted to prostitution, as there is high unemployment.[2]

Sex Tourism is also a problem in the Ivory Coast.[3]
