Classified ads offering a variety of sex services is a section that reportedly takes in up to 40 million euros of advertising revenue a year in Spain and makes up about 60 percent of all classified ads in newspapers throughout the country.

The Spanish government proposed a ban on all prostitution ads in major newspapers, claiming they contribute to human trafficking and sexual exploitation.

“In most cases, these classified ads serve as a cover-up for the work of crime groups,” says Isabel Martinez Lozano, General Secretary at the Ministry of Equality."
