English term or phrase: soliciting
Hi guys!

I need to translate "soliciting" into Brazilian Portuguese, as in the sentence:
"...charges of soliciting & brothel-keeping, "prostitute cautions", civil orders, police seizing your money, as well as help if you are threatened or attacked."

Context: Sex workers' information sheet for protection against violence against police, clients, etc. They are usually charged for "cautions, soliciting, and loitering".

Thanks in advance!

I chose to "explain" the term, since I don't think there is a direct correspondent in Portuguese.

agree  Claudia Torres: "Prostituição" seems to be the most appropriate considering the context.

agree  Mario Freitas: Sim, Cláudia, porém prostituição já foi citado no contexto antes. Trata-se de uma infração penal dentro do conceito de prostituição. Fico com "aliciamento"

agree  Felipe Tomasi
11 hrs
  -> Felipe, obrigada. Não quis que se sentisse "obrigado" a concordar comigo com o meu apontamento na discussão. Outros, sim, deveriam fazê-lo em vez de irem a correr atrás das respostas e referências dos colegas.
agree  Adrian MM.: with the first term - if the 2nd means 'living off immoral earnings' (Collins), then this would apply to a brothel madame, ponce or pimp, rather than to the call girl (or boy) doing the 'soliciting' in public etc. // You're welcome to my 'experience'.

  -> Many thanks Adrian. I agree with your views too.

lenocínio


Explanation:
This is the correct term. Refers specifically to sexual favours while 'aliciamento de clientes' could be for any field.
