Prostitution in the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten) is legal and regulated.[1][2] At least 500 foreign women are reportedly working in prostitution throughout the islands.[3][1] Bonaire,[4] Sint Eustatius, and Curaçao are sex tourism destinations.[2]
There is a single state-sanctioned brothel on the islands of Bonaire,[4][5] and Sint Maarten.[1] The brothel in Curaçao closed in 2020.[6]
Curaçao, Aruba, and Sint Maarten are destination islands for women trafficked for the sex trade from Peru, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti,[3] In 2011, a human trafficking ring was broken up after trafficking women for sex exploitation from Colombia to Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and Bonaire.[7]
