Health Counseling Under the Prostitute Protection Act
Anyone who offers sex for money
is a prostitute.
Prostitutes must register with the public order office.
To do so, they must first receive counseling from the public health department.
This is stated in Section 10 of the Prostitute Protection Act.
A section is a chapter in a law.
At the public health department, sex workers receive health counseling.
The health counseling session is a conversation.
The consultation is free and confidential.
That's what the conversation is about:
- Questions about sexual health.
- How can I prevent diseases?
- Pregnancy and contraception.
- The dangers of alcohol and drugs.
- What can you do if you’re in a difficult situation?
- What can you do if you’re in distress?
After the consultation, sex workers receive a certificate.
The certificate states:
You have received health counseling.
With this certificate, you can report to the Public Order Office.
We do not examine your body.
You can schedule appointments for health counseling by phone.
