Prostitution in Portugal is legal, but it is illegal for a third party to profit from, promote, encourage or facilitate the prostitution of another.[1] Consequently, organized prostitution (brothels, prostitution rings or other forms of pimping) is prohibited.[2][3]
Although the number of workers involved in the industry is notoriously difficult to estimate, in the mid-2000s, the number of female prostitutes was estimated at 28,000, of whom at least 50% were foreigners.[4][5]
