Barbados - page 1 of 0

Located northeast of Venezuela, Barbados is a Caribbean island and a major stopover for girls travelling to North America. It is also home to many sex workers from other Caribbean countries, such as Jamaica and Guyana.

Sex work regulations in Barbados vary from state to state and district to district. Although prostitution is illegal under Article B of the Penal Code and Article of the Revised Penal Code, it is rarely enforced.

Sex work regulations are not uniform throughout the country, and some states prohibit soliciting to sell sex within a certain meter of a church or school. The law also criminalizes procuring or organizing prostitution.

Depending on the state, buying sex is not illegal. However, procuring sexual services is a criminal offense, punishable with up to one year in prison. It is also illegal to loiter near a minor.

There are many legal risks for LGBT persons in Barbados. The law is also vague, making it hard to know what is and isn’t illegal.

Some hotels and vacation rentals do not allow sex workers to stay in their rooms. The best looking girls are often booked out only on weekends. However, a number of hotels allow guests to stay in their rooms.

Some vacation properties, like condos, beach houses and apartments, are cheaper than hotel rooms. A hotel room can cost as little as $40 a day during the summer season. If you are on a budget, it may be more practical to rent a flat rather than bring sex workers to a hotel room.
