Amsterdam Is Considering Banning Its Red Light District

Holland is considering a ban on paid sex, which could leave the future of Amsterdam’s famous red light district uncertain. The Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) is pushing (again) for paying for sex to be a punishable offense. The debate is being revived by the CDA in the Dutch parliament to supposedly protect “mostly women who are treated unequally.”

The CDA would like to follow a legal model similar to Sweden, where the buyer is prosecuted but prostitutes are not. The CDA’s coalition partners are reportedly opposed to the ban, saying it will only drive prostitution underground. Thankfully, it has been claimed that the chance of criminalizing paid sex in the Netherlands is extremely low due to this opposition.
