Prostitution in Brazil is legal as there are no laws forbidding adult prostitution[1] but the Brazilian government is increasingly frustrated with the fact that western tourists come to Brazil for sex tourism [2][3], particularly child prostitution[4]. The government of Brazil is working stringently to clamp down particularly at child prostitution.[5][6][7]
