After checking out the world famous Red Light District i couldn't stop thinking about it, all the girls, the men, why the girls were there, how they ended up there. I had so many questions and i felt sorry for them as the men leered over them, winding them up and shouting abuse.
So we checked out the Red Light Secrets Museum of Prostitution.
It was eye opening!

Its basically a mock up of what an average brothel on the strip looks like.
Prostitutes in the District work in small old rooms decorated shabby. They don't own the rooms they rent them and the approx price is 150 euro for half a day. Before she makes any money for herself she has to earn the rent money first.
They have windows with seats and red lights so you can really experience what it feels like to be starred at.
One of the Woman they talk about in the Museum used to work in one of the rooms above she was trafficked which is a very common phenomenon.
There's a great video going around on the internet at the moment about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-a8dAHDQoo
Another woman they talk about in the Museum got approached by a woman asking if she was interested in working in the district, they became good friends and started working together. She says shes quite happy doing what shes doing and its helping her to pay off her study debts. So i guess its not all bad.
I would love to know what you guys think of The District so drop us a comment.
