 In Germany, attempts to develop a comprehensive framework for prostitution in 2017 have been met by fierce opposition from sex-workers, with less than 1% of the prostitutes submitting to their registration duty.The United Kingdom introduced the Sexual Offences Act of 1956 which would partly be repealed and altered by the Sexual Offences Act 2003.While this law did not criminalise the act of prostitution itself, it did prohibit such activities as running a brothel and soliciting for paid sex.
