Prostitutes demonstrated in Hamburg’s red light district to demand that Germany’s brothels be allowed to reopen after months of closures amid the coronavirus lockdown. The country, which has been widely praised for its rapid coronavirus response, is keeping brothels closed while allowing shops, restaurants and bars to open again. Sex workers in Germany—where prostitution is legal—say they are being singled out and deprived of their livelihoods despite not posing a greater health risk.
The Association of Sex Workers said brothels could easily incorporate pandemic safety measures adopted by other industries, including face masks, ventilating premises and recording visitors’ contact details. “Prostitution does not carry a greater risk of infection than other close-to-body services, like massages, cosmetics or even dancing or contact sports,” the association said in a statement. “Hygiene is part of the business in prostitution.”
