Prostitution in Lithuania is illegal, but it is common.[1][2] Law enforcement is weak,[3] corrupt[4] and is reputedly connected to organised crime.[3] It is estimated that there are 3,000 prostitutes in the capital Vilnius.[4] Many prostitutes in Lithuania are foreigners,[a] primarily from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.[4] Street prostitution, including underage prostitutes,[5] is generally controlled by criminal elements.[4]
Sex trafficking is a problem in the country.[6]
