Netherlands Moves Brothels from Amsterdam to Suburbs

Prostitutes in the Dutch capital Amsterdam oppose a government plan to relocate their workspaces in "brothels" from the famous Red Light District to the suburbs. Residents of the suburbs also oppose this move. In response to the prospect of a "large brothel" near their homes, hundreds of residents joined a protest organized by the sex workers who do not wish to leave the brightly lit storefronts along the canals of Amsterdam. Meanwhile, Mayor Femke Halsema strongly defends her plan, according to a report by "Insider," disregarding the nicknames she has been given, such as "Lady of the Prostitutes."
