Country District Guide

Prostitution in Burkina Faso operates in a largely grey area dictated by its French colonial legal heritage. While the isolated exchange of sex for money is not explicitly outlawed, the overarching Penal Code aggressively targets all associated and organizational activities. Influenced heavily by international conventions, recent decades have seen the government drastically escalate legislative crackdowns on human trafficking, pimping, and child exploitation networks.
