Amsterdam’s window prostitutes protest at closure proposals

thetimes.co.uk - Hundreds of Amsterdam’s window prostitutes took to the streets yesterday in protest against the city authorities’ attempts to clean up the red light district.

Sex workers say they have been targeted over the years as local politicians try to reinvigorate the area, under the guise of stopping human trafficking.

Some 250 prostitutes and their supporters marched against the latest proposals to shut down more of the city’s brothels.

Since 2008 115 of the 500 windows highlighted with red or pink illumination have been closed.
