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.

Wat is de Blue Light District?

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.

5 | Project 1012

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.

Where is Amsterdam located?

Amsterdam is situated in the Netherlands, in North-Holland province. The city is built on the bones of a former medieval fishing village, and its canals—lined with gabled architecturally significant canal houses—were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.
Met ruim 850.000 inwoners binnen de stadsgrenzen is Amsterdam de grootste stad van Nederland en de hoofdstad van Noord-Holland. Het grootstedelijk gebied van Groot-Amsterdam bevat bijna een vijfde van de totale bevolking van het land.
Amsterdam staat ook bekend om zijn rosse buurt, die zich in het middeleeuwse centrum van de stad bevindt. De wijk is de thuisbasis van veel sekswerkers die hun handel in raambordelen uitoefenen, en het is een populaire toeristische bestemming.
Amsterdam is echter veel meer dan alleen de Rosse Buurt; het is een levendige en kosmopolitische stad die voor iedereen iets te bieden heeft.
