Episode 5: Facts and Figures

Amsterdam is one of most popular spots when it comes to prostitution and sex tourism. Many girls come to Amsterdam because they believe the Netherlands to be the safest place for prostitution and also because prostitutes here are as respected as anyone else.Anyone from EU, above 18 and with a valid working permit could rent a room and work here. However, rent in Red Light District is not cheap at all - it is about 100 euros for a few hours. So very often ladies work in shifts sharing the same window and cabinet.There are over 1000 women working in de Wallen. Standard minimum fee is 50 euros for 15 minutes and on a busy night a prostitute could make up to 1500 euros. All girls working in the windows are self-employed, which means they themselves get to design the schedule and pricing and pay taxes.Prostitutes who work in the Netherlands are protected by the law and the union. So they have freedom to choose and can refuse any client they do not fancy. Moreover, in every room there is an emergency button, which provides extra protection for women working in sex industry.
