Amsterdam (as a significant place for sex work)

Amsterdam is known for its historic approach to sex work, where it has been legally regulated since the early 2000s. The city’s Red Light District is famous for its illuminated windows where sex workers can offer their services safely and legally. This regulation aims to protect workers' rights, reduce trafficking, and promote health and safety. The city also provides social services and health care for sex workers, challenging stigma and supporting their well-being. This pragmatic attitude towards sex work reflects broader themes of tolerance and openness in Dutch society.
