Description
Sex workers and supporters march through Amsterdam to protest against plans to move them from the famed red light district to a huge "erotic centre" on the outskirts of the city. Wearing masks to hide their identity and waving red umbrellas and banners including "Save the Red Light", dozens of demonstrators walk to city hall where they confront the mayor. Amsterdam authorities say they want to move the sex workers to reduce crime and nuisance behaviour in the city, which this week launched a campaign to keep rowdy British tourists away. "We really don’t agree with the solutions that they are offering that they’re imposing. They’re not even negotiating with the sex workers’ organisations," sex worker Sabrina Sanchez says.
