PAPEŽOVÁ, Jitka
This bachelor thesis describes the work and the perception of the sex business in contemporary society. It is based on international theories, which have enriched the personal experience of the author. It interprets the terms used, describes the forms of the sex business and its current state in the Czech Republic. It also sheds light on the status of current legislation around the sex business and provides a list of support organizations that work with persons providing sexual services. It also defines the phenomena of the sex business and the risks that sex workers commonly encounter. The theoretical discourse contains a chapter that deals with the so-called "tipplezones," defined zones of tolerance; protected places for the provision of sexual services that occur outdoors. This thesis examines this phenomenon and explains the reasons for their creation and their subsequent demise abroad. The research section deals with the possibility of creating a safe protected place in the Czech Republic. The aim of the research was to map and evaluate the opinions of representatives of municipalities and towns in the Ústí nad Labem Region on the possible establishment of such a place.

Pachová, Katarína ; Stöckelová, Tereza (advisor) ; Szénássy, Edit (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the relations created between social workers and women, providing paid sexual services, in the area of street work environment. The thesis shows us the process of creation of these relations on the basis of the specific position of its actors, such as the stigmatized sex workers and "the wise" ones in the area of social work. However, these positions are not fixed. Social workers, as well as sex workers transform and redefine them, by using their own ways of understanding to categories such as trust, authority and process of self definition. The relations between the actors are mainly created on the basis of the topic of health that enters this environment through the harm reduction approach. This approach is also responsible for bringing an attention to actual health of sex workers but moreover an attention towards group of these women as such. Nevertheless, in the process of actual field research, were these categories shown as to be part of a larger picture of topic like motherhood and partnership. The last chapter of this thesis discusses the approach towards these topics during the contact with social workers. Keywords sex work, non-governmental organization, harm reduction approach, field social workers, stigma, health, biopower, motherhood

ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF POSSIBLE LEGALIZATION OF PROSTITUTION IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Kheil, Adam ; Zajíček, Miroslav (advisor) ; Vopravil, Jiří (referee)
Czech Republic same as many other countries has a national debt. Each state is looking for ways how to reduce their national debt and at best completely repay it. One of the potential sources of money for the state can be taxing the prostitution industry. Everybody knows what prostitution is but nobody can imagine how big the amount of money that revolves in this shadow market is and how many people work in this industry. This business is very well hidden especially to tax authorities in most countries and it is very sophisticated. Nobody neither politicians in the Czech Republic do not want to speak about this topic and try to find a common solution beneficial to all parties. This paper focuses more on prostitution in brothels and flats which sex workers renting for their work which specially in Prague and cities near to borders with Austria and Germany. During research I spoke with owners of the brothels and sex clubs in the Prague and their employees (sex workers) with porn actors who also have a lot of information and data on this topic. I also interviewed sex workers who have their own flats where they work which are still more frequently seen in the Czech Republic. I collected all data and estimated the value of the market with sex service in the Czech Republic and how big impact this shadow economy has on the GDP. I focus primary on Prague, the largest market for prostitutes in the country also due to the large number of tourists. Prostitution has tendency to decrease in most of the regions except of Prague. Also women who work as sex workers more years try to find ways how to tax their incomes to get pension in the future. Owners of the brothels would like to somehow also legalize system of prostitution because problems which they have with local authorities had rising tendency. Estimates show that each year prostitution business earn more than 8 billion Czech crowns which is 0.2% of GDP, but if we counted third parties the amount can be more than doubled.
