Adapted by Bryan Lufkin. But that might soon end. Dutch parliament is currently preparing to debate the legality of prostitution in the Netherlands. With the industry facing opposition from both the Christian right and feminist left, sex workers in the Red Light District are under pressure to protect their right to work. Could these debates lead to big changes in sex work around the world? And how could that affect the jobs and lives of the people in the industry?

But others believe that the focus needs to be on empowering the women involved, who tend to already be parts of a vulnerable sector population.

That fundamentally, the men are predators β but that is not the reality among most sex workers. If you liked this story, sign up for the weekly bbc.
