Bremen State Parliament President Antje Grotheer calls for a ban on the purchase of sex. “As long as people can buy other people - and these are largely women - for sex, we are still miles away from equal rights," she says.
In order to improve the rights and protection of prostitutes, the Prostitute Protection Act came into force in Germany in 2017. The Federal Ministry for Family Affairs is currently evaluating the law. The federal government is not yet planning any further regulations.
