Voices of Amsterdam prostitutes

I don't like the Amsterdam police. Sex crime police is okay, but the rest is outrageous (world turned upside down)

I will try to advertising Amsterdam again and try to make the area looking and have the glory of 15 years ago and not to destroy like they do know. And not shut down windows, coffee shops etc. They destroy Red Light and hundreds of families living from here.

No, because clients don't know

Positive, but I am against the reduction on the number of windows

I wouldn’t change my job. If I had another life, I would choose the same job.

I was forced into signing a statement for the court, which I didn’t want to do

They take their job seriously and do not hesitate to help the girls when they need it

I would increase working hours in the weekend, reduce the rent of the windows and stop girls from bringing the price down, make it possible to pay for the windows when you are on vacation.

I would get rid of the girls who cheat clients because after they have had a bad experience they don’t want to come back.

The financial situation in the beginning, now I enjoy it.

Hygienic rules I agree with. Rules about limitation of the time we work, I don’t agree. As its well-known it’s not my business. I decide not anyone does.

Reducing working places? Focus on the girls being forced not girls that have nothing to do with that and losing the opportunity to improve their lives, secure their families also. I know if it’s coming time to pay rent and I would like to work day and night. If person working in the bar works day and night and during the day has a part time job it’s ok, but for us it is not? Why?

Change thing what will improve the life in Holland not make it more difficult for us.

They way some people treat me, the police, politicians, and the people walking through the Red Light District.

When you do this it will stop people visiting the girls that is not fare for girls that are independent!! We pay out a lot of money per month to do this work!

I don’t know what is in the media but I know most of people have a bad opinion about prostitution. Of course a bad reputation is a negative influence, sometime we cannot even rent an apartment, definitely not get a credit card from a bank, for example

I think that the reduction of the numbers of workplaces only worsens the situation of forced girls because they will work in hotels or backway and will not be opportunities where to ask for help.
Sometimes I will like to work day and night in a room because of the low income.

Is no good because the clients don't are consciousness about who is free or who is forced.

I would make the STD’s an obligation for each girl.

The minimum price should be officially 50 euro and protection, mandatory.

Make it public, for tourist that videos and photos of girls are forbidden and if not they should get a fine.

If you are in trouble, they disappear but if you don’t do anything bad they are bothering with crazy questions.

They are very helpful, until now I never had any bad experience with them

To fulfill my dream, which requires a good financial start that I don’t have.

The constant changes that affect our work negatively.

Because it is not easy to find other.

At this moment NO. I’m my own boss, I decide what hours I want to make and the way I want to work.

A negative influence because the people have the tendency to judge me thinking that I’m forced to do this job or I didn’t have respect for myself. What is not true decision, and nobody else assure me a
future.

I chose this job for the money and I ended up practicing this because I wanted to
