BACKGROUND
In 2005, only underground prostitution — a frequest target of police stings — existed. During the long months of Morovia's inactivity, the numbers of persons offering sexual services rose rapidly. According to His Majesty's Prosecutor-General, apart from the spread of street prostitution, there has been an enormous increase in providing in-house sexual services. According to Gloria Herran, head of nonprofit organization that provides education to prostitutes, the government has not addressed the issues. Herren's organization focuses on preventing trafficking in women, support of its victims, lobbying for legislation and providing information concerning the issue.
“The government does not care. The last request for changing [the situation] was swept away in 2005,” Herren told The Evening Standard, adding that prostitution is a phenomenon that is not isolated and brings many serious socioeconomic problems with it. “It is not just sexually transmitted diseases, but also drugs, organized crime and more. However, in this legislative vacuum it is just not possible to fight these effectively.”
A spokesman for His Majesty's Ministry of the Treasury estimated that last year around 1 billion morovs from 20,000 people working in the Morovian sex industry went untaxed.
