A more enlightened country than our own, prostitution is legal in Switzerland. Sex workers register with city authorities and get regular health checks, protecting both them and their clients. As with all sports tournaments, a lot of business is expected to take place during Euro 2008 so the Swiss Aids Federation has printed a series of postcards to remind customers that sex workers deserve politeness, respect and cleanliness.

More importantly, contact details are available should a customer suspect a sex worker is in forced prostitution.

It’s easy to be cynical about the postcard idea, but still, it certainly can’t hurt to remind people that those in the sex industry, like anybody providing a service, deserve to be treated in a respectful manner.
