A survey in 2009 found that one in three men had paid for sex, but another report in the same year suggested the figure was almost 40%.

The industry is unregulated in Spain and there aren't any punishments in place for those who pay for sexual services, as long as it doesn't take place in a public space.

In his election manifesto in 2019, Mr Sanchez pledged to outlaw prostitution, in a move that was seen to attract female voters.On 17 October, Spaniards took to the streets calling for an 'Abolitionist Law' on prostitution. Pic AP It called the practice"one of the cruellest aspects of the feminisation of poverty and one of the worst forms of violence against women".Public opinion on a ban is divided and in November 2018 there were nationwide protest on the UN's international day for the elimination of violence against women.

Several protesters carried signs that called for the ban of the practice, with many unhappy that the government allowed a sex workers' trade union to form. Organizacion de Trabadjaroras Sexuales was given the green light in August 2018 and the group was established to try and create a safety net for workers.

Can anyone name one country where this has worked?

Fine... but find a solution. They aren't prostitutes because it's a life ambition. Just don't ban and abandon.

Another free European country? Loool

Regulate it, this will just put women in danger as banning it won't stop it.
