The Vienna state parliament passed an amendment to the prostitution law this week. This is intended to better protect sex workers. The catalog of fines has also been adjusted, operators of red light bars will be examined in more detail in the future.
The police, in particular, have repeatedly made similar demands in recent years. This week, the state parliament tightened the prostitution law – the change will take effect at the beginning of April.
The measures at a glance: Prostitution in vehicles is prohibited in residential areas, which means that the infamous sex buses are finally banned from residential areas. Neighbors always rioted about the “car dashboard”. Prohibitions can also be imposed in individual cases in the so-called permission zones.
Advertising of unprotected sexual practices will be banned
Further measures: Operators of red bars must be impeccable in the future and report to the authority personally – as far as they could be represented for this. You also need a domestic delivery address. The punishment catalog has been adjusted and made fairer – the sometimes too high minimum sentences no longer apply. And: Promoting all kinds of unprotected sex is also prohibited.
