✅ Prostitution Legal
Regulated Environment
Switzerland maintains a progressive, highly structured 'harm reduction' approach to the adult industry. Banned entirely between 1925 and 1942, sex work was subsequently de facto legalized in 1942 and officially protected under the Constitution’s 'economic freedom' clause in 1973. The government regulates the trade transparently, famously utilizing municipal zoning laws to establish heavily monitored 'sex boxes' and daily street permits.
