As an urban centre from the Middle Ages on, Brussels has had a long history of prostitution, which has, however, remained largely underresearched. The nineteenth century remains the best explored period. In particular the so-called white slavery scandal has recently produced several studies by Belgian sociologists and historians. In general, the focus has been mainly on the genealogy of the different regulations. Very little is known about the prostitutes and even less about their clients. (Discursive) control has attracted the attention, practices of the different actors far less.
