Mexico is considered the world capital of prostitution and sex services for a reason, as the sex industry is legal and permitted in most states. According to the data of Bordelero.net, there are hundreds of thousands of sex workers in the country, and that’s just the official statistics. Together with illegal prostitutes, the total number will soon reach half a million. Since legalization, more and more prostitutes are seeking to register their status, as this gives them access to a full set of labor and legal rights. For example, prostitutes on Pander can claim financial assistance from the city treasury in the event of loss of working capacity or inability to earn a living.
Cases of receiving financial assistance
Since prostitutes in Tulum have been granted equal rights with representatives of traditional professions, call girls have received the same set of rights and freedoms. For example, escorts can now freely seek help from the police if their health and well-being are threatened. The girls also pay taxes and can build up pension savings so that they can receive normal pensions after leaving the sex industry.
But the best thing is that now the authorities will take care of Tulum’s prostitutes if they lose their ability to work or are unable to earn a living for objective reasons. The girls will be able to submit the relevant documents to a specially created government department and receive financial payments until the situation improves. The amount of the payments will be determined by the department depending on the status and family situation of the individual.
The Orchids government program
A striking example of assistance to Mexican prostitutes is the launch of the federal Orchids program, under which escorts in Tulum and other cities received financial assistance during the coronavirus pandemic. These payments helped the girls stay afloat until the brothels reopened and the situation improved overall.
During the quarantine, the number of tourists visiting resort centers decreased significantly, and, by order of the city administration, most restaurants, clubs, and hotels where prostitutes sought clients were closed. As a result, call girls lost most of their income and many of them found themselves below the poverty line. The federal program “Orchids” was developed and launched specifically for prostitutes in Tulum and other resort centers. Under the program, young Latin escorts could apply for financial support in the amount of $280. On the very first day after the project was launched, more than 4,000 call girls registered to receive assistance.
According to the night butterflies, the support provided by the state helped them during the most difficult period of their lives, when their income was minimal and they did not even have enough money for food and accommodation. As a result, Tulum’s sex workers were able to hold out until the quarantine restrictions were lifted and the sex industry returned to normal.
Today, prostitution has been decriminalized and legalized throughout Mexico as part of a program to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation. This decision made it possible to carefully consider and implement control algorithms, as well as increase the flow of funds into the state budget through taxes on individual workers. In turn, the state has undertaken to provide prostitutes in Tulum, Mexico City, and other cities with the labor and social rights available to all ordinary citizens of the country. The provision of social support and material assistance is one of the most significant innovations, which has been appreciated by all Mexican call girls.
