Een raambordeel aan de Oudezijds Voorburgwal.
Raamprostitutie in Amsterdam werd vanaf de jaren vijftig ingevoerd. Ook deze vorm van sekswerk is legaal zolang de wetten worden nageleefd en zolang het plaatsvindt in vergunde raambordelen. Het is iets dat onlosmakelijk verbonden is met Amsterdam en de liberale manier van denken van de Nederlanders.

De blauw-verlichte peeskamers in Amsterdam overdag. Transgenders werken hier.
De blue light district in Amsterdam is een gebied op De Wallen met meerdere transgender sekswerkers. Sommige transgender prostituees gebruiken blauwe lichten in hun raambordelen om aan te geven dat ze anders zijn dan de vrouwelijke sekswerkers.
Het gaat om twee of drie straten op de Wallen (De Wallen). Het gaat vooral om de Bloedstraat en de Gordijnensteeg.

Most transgender sex workers in the blue light district (still) have their male genitals and are visited by men. In the Bloedstraat (in the so-called Blue Light District) are the window brothels with transgender sex workers as well as female prostitutes.
As local guides, we see the Blue Light District as a unique contrast to the city’s hustle and bustle. Despite its lively atmosphere, visitors can uncover a diverse community, including transgender sex workers, who play a significant role in its vibrancy.

The Red Light District map has significantly changed in the last few decades. Especially during the last 10 years. In 2007, the City of Amsterdam started with a gentrification-plan called Project 1012, genoemd naar de postcode van de Wallen.
This is the Trompettersteeg – Amsterdam’s most narrow alley.
De bedoeling van Project 1012 was om de buurt te veranderen, vermeende criminele infrastructuur te vernietigen en het gebied te gentrificeren. De lokale overheid geeft miljoenen euro's belastinggeld uit om bordeelhouders uit te kopen, zodat raambordelen kunnen worden veranderd in modewinkels, kunstgalerijen, voedingswinkels, enz.
However, criminal practices were hardly found to be happening inside Amsterdam’s Red Light District but elsewhere in the Netherlands. For example; in illegal sex clubs, within the online prostitutie business and in private houses. For those types of activities there aren’t any forms of regulated oversight or control like there is in Amsterdam’s Red Light District.
Moulin Rouge is een van de 10 seksshows in Amsterdam.
De gemeente Amsterdam heeft geen enkel raambordeel kunnen sluiten wegens misdaad of illegaliteit. Het enige wat ze konden doen om het aantal raambordelen terug te dringen, was het dure pand in het stadscentrum kopen en op die manier raambordelen sluiten.
Dit dure beleid kostte de Nederlandse belastingbetaler 108 million euro. Through these measures, the municipality of Amsterdam was able to close down a total of 126 window brothels around Amsterdam Red Light District since 2007, thus significantly altering the Red Light District map.
Momenteel zijn er 201 raambordelen achtergelaten op de Wallen en ongeveer 350 sekswerkers.
De hoofdstraat in De Wallen heeft aan weerszijden ramen. Het bevat ook de meeste sex shows too.
Ja, het is veilig! Tijdens je bezoek zal je merken dat dat hier veilig is. Je zult zien dat het is niet goor en niet vies.
The police, enforcers and hosts of the city are often visibly present in this neighborhood. In addition, there are also 50 police cameras present and there is a lot of social control from all the millions of yearly visitors and the 4,305 local residents. (bron)
