mumbai - Andhra Pradesh becomes the first Indian state that will legally prosecute brothel visitors. With this measure, the authorities hope to restrict the sexual exploitation of women and children.

In India, legislation on trafficking in human beings, sexual abuse and prostitution is strict. Pimps and brothel owners are already regularly punished, but their customers are almost always free.

The regional government now wants to put an end to this. Andhra Pradesh has formed a team of experts and strategists to adapt the existing laws in such a way that whoremongers can now also be brought to justice. The committee was asked to come up with recommendations within sixty days.

In India there are an estimated 20 million people working in the sex industry, of whom sixteen million women and girls are victims of human traffickers.

Andhra Pradesh is located in the southeast of India and has more than 75 million inhabitants.
