Posted : By Lee Hyo-sik A growing number of Korean prostitutes are flying to Australia on a working holiday program, following harsh government crackdowns on brothels here over the past few years, foreign ministry officials said Monday.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, which administers the work-and-travel program for mostly university students, over 1, Korean nationals are estimated to work as prostitutes in Australia, accounting for about 17 percent of the some 6, foreign sex workers.
The ministry suspects that the majority of Korean sex workers went to the Oceanic country on the working holiday program. The program, designed to give Korean students an opportunity to gain international experience, allows those aged to stay in one of 11 partner countries to work and travel during a limited time period.
