  Women aged 20 years or over who are prosecuted for violating Article 5 of the Anti-Prostitution Law (acts of soliciting or awaiting for customers, or following a pedestrian around in public places with a view to soliciting, for the purpose of prostitution, using methods calling public attention to them) may be given the guidance disposition if a court suspends the execution of imprisonment.
  Women given the guidance disposition are normally accommodated in the women's guidance home. However, nobody has been newly admitted since 1992, with the sole exception of 1 in 1995. Explanation of terms
