Brazil — Legal Help
Sex work itself legal; pimping/brothel-keeping illegal. Termas (sauna clubs) operate in grey zone. Express kidnapping in Rio specifically — be careful with cabs and ATM withdrawals after dark.
Embassies & consular help
If you are detained, ask police to notify your embassy — they can provide a lawyer list and consular visits, but cannot pay fees or intervene in the case.
