Strassenstrich

Offering sexual services in public streets.

Auch bekannt als: Strassenprostitution, Strich

The Street Prostitution refers to the offering of sexual services in public streets. In Switzerland it is only permitted in narrowly defined zones (restricted areas exclude it almost everywhere). Unlike indoor sex work, street prostitution is particularly precarious - higher risks due to lack of selection of clients, cold, lack of hygiene options.

Advice centers such as Flora Dora (Zurich), Aspasie (Geneva), Xenia (Berne) and Fleur de Pavé (Lausanne) operate mobile contact points directly on the street Street prostitute.
