These are my favorite parts from an article about “Prostitution Day” in Amsterdam:
“It is especially interesting for women. If they learn what we do here they will realise it is not a big deal if their husbands or boyfriends want to come here.”
“This day is to help break down taboos around prostitution and to create more understanding and respect,” he said.
“People who work in the sex industry don’t get enough respect,” said Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who now runs the red-light district’s information centre.
