streetwalking

Outdoor prostitution work

Streetwalking is soliciting sex for money in public places—working as a prostitute on the street rather than through an escort service, brothel, or online arrangement.

The term emphasizes the visible, outdoor nature of the work: She was arrested for streetwalking.

A streetwalker is a prostitute who operates this way.
