Naked Prostitutes in Amsterdam Red Light District<\/h2>\n

Remarkable news today which came\u00a0from a union of sex workers in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

New record: First\u00a0human tower of naked\u00a0bodies<\/h3>\n

Prostitutes from all over the world are going to\u00a0build the first\u00a0human tower of naked\u00a0bodies in Amsterdam. They do this to protest against the stigma around\u00a0la prostitution<\/a>. \u00a0Most sex workers find it difficult if not impossible to get a mortgage or insurance.\u00a0Banks and insurance companies are not willing to provide their services to travailleuses du sexe<\/a>, as a consequence of the bad image of their profession.<\/p>\n

\"Sex<\/a><\/p>\n

The prostitutes in Amsterdam hope\u00a0that this protest will help to get rid\u00a0of the current image problem. Most of the sex workers consider their profession as just another job; “Sex work = work”, they say.\u00a0Last week, the Dutch bank Triodos refused to open a bank account for the Dutch Union for Sex Workers, called PROUD.<\/p>\n

Naked prostitutes protest in Red Light District of Amsterdam<\/h3>\n

\n<\/a>T<\/em>he Old Church in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.<\/em><\/p>\n

The tower of prostitutes will equal the height of the Amsterdam Old Church, that stands over 67 meters (73 yards) tall. It will be erected on the Old Church Square, which is situated in the heart of the Red Light District. The human tower of naked prostitutes will be built on April\u00a01st at 8 pm. The sex workers invite everyone to come see the protest in Amsterdam. The event will be free. “This is your only chance to see naked prostitutes\u00a0without paying for it”, said one of them.<\/p>\n

A Naked Protest Against Stigma<\/h4>\n

Sex workers\u00a0from all over the world will be in Amsterdam to support this act. Sunny Lane<\/a>, Ashley Alexandra Dupr\u00e9, Kristin M. Davis and\u00a0Ayumu Kas will be joining the protest. 80 female and 20 male prostitutes\u00a0will join the protest in the Red Light District. “I think this is a great initiative and I’m so glad that I can be part of it. It’s ridiculous\u00a0that sex workers in the Netherlands and elsewhere are being refused at certain banks. Why do banks refuse sex workers?”, said Sunny Lane.<\/p>\n

Famous Fokkens Twins on top

\nAmsterdam, M<\/em>artine & Louise Fokkens. Holland’s oldest prostitutes.<\/em><\/h4>\n

Many Dutch sex workers will join in as well, including the most famous ones.\u00a0The best known prostitutes in the Netherlands are Martine & Louise Fokkens. These twin sisters have worked in Amsterdam’s\u00a0Red Light District for 50 years. The twins are not only (former) prostitutes with many publications in the media, but also the oldest prostitutes in the Netherlands (77 years of age). Martine & Louise Fokkens confirm – according to plan – they\u00a0will be the last to climb over all other women to hold the top.<\/p>\n

Guinness Book of Records Amsterdam Red Light District<\/h4>\n

If the naked prostitutes\u00a0manage to build a human tower of 67 meters, a world record will be set. They\u00a0will be the first to\u00a0build a human tower of naked prostitutes. The Guinness Book of Records\u00a0will be there to monitor the event. “A naked human tower of sex workers has never been attempted in history.”,\u00a0said a Guiness Book of Records inspector.<\/p>\n
