Ženska prostitucija u Zagrebu između 1899. i 1934. godine
Female Prostitution in Zagreb between 1899 and 1934

Summary/Abstract: Prostitution is a major moral, societal, social, economic, and public health issue. Until 1922 in Zagreb, prostitution was permitted in public houses. The operation of these public houses was regulated by a regulation (Regulation on Prostitution) from 1899. The Zagreb police issue a Regulation on the Supervision of Prostitution in the Municipal Territory on 24 September 1922. By this law public houses were disbanded. Girls and women who worked as prostitutes received the status of publicly tolerated prostitutes and were registered in a special file controlled by the police. Prostitution was forbidden in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1934 under the law for combating sexually transmitted diseases. By the end of September 1934 legal prostitution came to an end in Zagreb. After 1934, prostitution did not disappear rather it was thrown into the sphere of criminal activity.
