Prostitution in Tajikistan is rife and illegal within the country since the collapse of the Soviet Union.[1] In practice, arrested prostitutes are assessed a nominal fine and released, while those purchasing sex are prosecuted.[2] The government of Tajikistan is making efforts to curb the crime since it is linked to human trafficking.[3] Authorities in ex-Soviet Tajikistan have detained more than 500 prostitutes during raids aimed at cracking down on the underground sex industry. Police in the impoverished majority-Muslim country detained 505 women over the past three days in the Tajik capital Dushanbe, a police spokesman said on Thursday.
