Episode 9: Belle

Episode 9: Belle

Here you can see a statue of prostitute standing in the window. This small monument was placed here by Mariska Majoor the founder of the Prostitution Centre that we just passed in 2007 in honour of the women working in sex industry in Amsterdam and all over the world. Interestingly enough, the statue was made after Mariska herself who was posing for the sculptor. Mariska hopes that this statue will be standing here forever. Continue your way around the church.
