Prostitution in Madagascar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prostitution in Madagascar is legal. People caught paying for sex with underage girls can face criminal penalties.[1][2][3]

Prostitution is increasing due to an increase in tourism and the poverty suffered by most people in the county.[4][5]
