The Prostitution Prevention Law (売春防止法, Baishun bōshi hō) (Law no. 118, May 24, 1956)[1][2] is a law in Japan that aims to prevent prostitution, punish third parties involved in the trade and to protect and rehabilitate women involved in prostitution. It is also known as the "Anti-Prostitution Law".[3] The law came into force on April 1, 1957, and all provisions were fully effective on April 1 of the following year.[4] As the law does not punish prostitution per se (client and prostitute), it is viewed as a preventive law rather than a prohibition law.[3][5][6]
