Prostitution in Kazakhstan is not illegal, forced prostitution, prostitution connected to organized crime, and acts facilitating prostitution, such as operating a brothel or prostitution ring, are illegal.

Prostitution is a serious problem. NGOs reported that criminal prostitution rings often included local law enforcement officials.[1][2]
