Martinique were passed in the 1850s. They were designed to keep prostitutes away from public areas but poorly enforced. In the 1930s, after the emergence of tourism and the start of WW2, a new set of laws were enabled. The new laws targeted prostitution in the bars and restaurants of Fort-de-France, which the colonial authorities believed were a major factor of STIs. As a result, all waitresses and hostesses had to have a valid "certificat de non contagiosité", whether they were prostitutes or not. The aim of the authorities was to move all prostitution into brothels. The women were reluctant to work in the brothels, so prostitution remained in the bars and restaurants. When the "law Marthe Richard" came into force in 1947, banning brothels, the authorities aim of restricting prostitution to brothels was unachievable. HIV is a problem on the island, In 1988 it was reported that 50% of sex workers were infected. In modern-day Martinique, street prostitution is common in the Terres-Sainville district of Fort-de-France. Most of the prostitutes are migrants from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Haiti, Colombia, Brazil and St. Kitts and Nevis, who have come to Martinique seeking a better life. Mayotte Prostitution in Mayotte occurs on the ring road and in the villages of Mtsapere and Kaweni in the commune of Mamoudzou. Many of the prostitutes are illegal immigrants from Madagascar and Comoros, who are transported to the islands at night in kwassa-kwassa boats. An area in Passamainty, also part of the Mamoudzou commune, used for drugs and prostitution, was destroyed by locals in July 2016. Child prostitution is a problem on the island. Some girls, aged from 11 to 15 years old, turn to prostitution through poverty of their families. Before being destroyed by locals, there was an area in Passamainty where underage girls engaged in prostitution to pay for drugs. There is also organised child prostitution of girls trafficked from Madagascar. Réunion Following the French law prohibiting "passive soliciting" in 2003, street prostitution in Réunion was greatly reduced. Many prostitutes now use classified advertisements in newspapers such as "Clicanoo" (Journal de l'île de La Réunion) and the internet. Some students at the University of La Réunion use prostitution to fund their way through university. Street prostitution still occurs in Saint-Denis (the capital city) and in Saint-Pierre, especially along the waterfronts. Many of the prostitutes are of foreign origin, mostly from Madagascar (85%) and
