Red-light Districts

Red-light districts are areas in cities where commercial sex work and adult entertainment are legally permitted and often concentrated. These districts typically have establishments like brothels, strip clubs, and adult shops. The term "red-light" originates from the use of red lights to indicate such venues. While they can provide safer environments for sex workers and clients, red-light districts also raise social and ethical concerns, such as issues related to public health, crime, and the treatment of sex workers. Their regulation and acceptance vary widely across different countries and cultures.
