Prostitution in Togo is legal[1] and commonplace.[2] Related activities such as solicitation, living off the earnings of prostitution or procuring are prohibited.[1] Punishment is up to 10 years imprisonment if minors or violence is involved.[1]
Sex trafficking,[3] child prostitution[4] and HIV[5] are problems in the country. However, the country has recently introduced some government codes, and has also started enforcing existing codes, such as a child code protecting the rights of children throughout the country, in order to help combat some of these problems.[6]
