Taiwanese governmental control over the sex industry. The sex trade is partially legal in Taiwan. Legislation controls licensed sex workers but their number is limited. The Criminal Act and the Social Order Protection Law prohibit involvement in the sex trade except for clients; managing brothels is also illegal. While sex workers are fighting for the right to work, conservative womenâ??s organisations are campaigning to amend the law. The amendment aims to penalise both licensed prostitutes and clients. The targeted groups will also include all sex workers, brothel owners, people who provide premises (e.g. renters, hostel owners), and people providing transport.
