What is is prostitution legal in bulgaria?

Prostitution in Bulgaria is legal but organized prostitution (brothels, prostitution rings, pimping, etc.) is illegal. Sex work is not recognized as a profession and sex workers do not have the same legal protections and benefits as other workers. However, they are required to pay taxes and can receive health care benefits.

Sex workers in Bulgaria often face discrimination and harassment. Human trafficking is also a problem in the country, with many women and girls being forced into prostitution against their will. The government has taken steps to combat human trafficking and protect victims, but more needs to be done.

In recent years, there have been calls to legalize and regulate prostitution in Bulgaria to improve the working conditions and safety of sex workers. However, this remains a controversial issue with strong opinions on both sides.
