Since then it is a legal profession. But gaining financial benefit from other people&#8217;s sexual services now returns to the Dutch criminal code, if its up to the new coalition.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prostitutes_To_Register_With_The_Government\"><\/span>Prostitutes To Register With The Government<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Simultaneously with the reintroduction of the ban, the new coalition wants prostitutes to register. This has been the subject of debate within Dutch parlement for years. Proponents, such as the Christian Union, think that such a duty of consent gives the government better visibility over the sex industry. Opponents, including D66, say that the privacy of prostitutes is being violated. In the formation, D66 party has now given in to the Christian Union.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mandatory_Registration_Has_Been_Debated_For_Years\"><\/span>Mandatory Registration Has Been Debated For Years<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Previously, Cabinet Rutte II abolished the proposal for a registration requirement for prostitutes because there was insufficient support for it in the First Chamber (Senate). Instead they went for a minimum age of 21 years for workers in the sex industry. This proposal however has not yet been adopted. \u00a0In practice, municipalities like Amsterdam, Utrecht and The Hague already use a form of registration. Recently, the administrative court and the Personal Data Authority have slammed this practice: it would be in violation of the Personal Data Protection Act. \u00a0These new Dutch prostitution Laws are the brainchild of the Christian Union, which has been fighting against forced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/nl\/information\/prostitution-in-holland\/\">prostitutie<\/a> for years. Party leader Gert-Jan Segers previously submitted a law that would make it a criminal offence if someone has sex with a prostitute who might know that they are victims of human trafficking. That proposal was adopted last year in the Lower House (congres).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Also_read\"><\/span>Also read:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interview_With_A_Dutch_Red_Light_District_Prostitute\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/nl\/news\/interview-female-prostitute-amsterdam\/\">Interview With A Dutch Red Light District Prostitute<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interview_With_A_Male_Sex_Worker_In_Amsterdam\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/nl\/news\/interview-with-a-male-escort-in-amsterdam\/\">Interview With A Male Sex Worker In Amsterdam<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Dutch Prostitution Laws Will also Create A Compulsory Licensing\u00a0System The new cabinet wants to re-introduce the ban on pimps.
