It had doors which were used to dam the river at certain times to avoid flooding. The Damrak then became a harbor and it was around this area that the red light district first appeared. The walled canals led to the names De Wallen and Walletjes (little walls). Historically because of proximity to the harbor the area has attracted both prostitution and migrant populations and these are the features it is best known for today.[1]From late Medieval times the trade started to be restricted. Married men and priests were forbidden to enter the area. In 1. 57. 8 during the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule a Protestant city board was formed with fornication deemed punishable. Working girls were banned and forced underground. They would work for a madam who provided room and board, protection and advice. Often the madam and girls would venture out at night visiting pubs and inns to pick up clients. Parlours remained illegal but tolerated if kept hidden. Trade remained small scale though spread across the city. Well known areas were De Haarlemmerdijk, De Houttuinen, Zeedijk and around the harbor. In the 1. 8th century wealthy men would meet working girls at gambling houses on De Gelderskade and Zeedijk. The girls would then take the men back to the parlors where they came from. However these were often unappealing to a gentleman of means. A solution to this problem was for the gambling houses to provide board for the girls. This suited everyone including the authorities. The gambling houses invested in luxury furnishings and gradually they became brothels employing up to 3. Famous brothels included De Pijl in Pijlstraat, De Fonteyn in Nieuwmarkt and Madame Therese on the Prinsengracht. For those who could not afford these there were still girls to be found around Oudekerksplein and unofficial policies of tolerance remained although prostitution was technically illegal. In 1. 81. 1 the ban on working girls was lifted. In this Napoleonic period, French soldiers were the main customers of prostitutes in De Wallen.[2] Regulation was brought in and there were compulsory health checks to protect soldiers from VD. They were given a red card which was a permit to work. If found to be infected the card was taken until they could prove they were disease free again. Because there was no reliable treatment for syphilis until the early 2. In the early 2. 0th century religious organizations ran campaigns to try to end tolerance of prostitution. In 1. 91. 1 a law was passed banning brothels and pimping. Working girls themselves were not banned though. Once again it was driven underground and tolerated as long it did not cause a disturbance. With the closure of many parlors in De Wallen some girls moved to De Pijp. In 1. 93. 5 it was estimated that there were around 1. Fronts included massage, pedicure, manicure, and beauty treatments. Working girls continued to work around the Oudekerksplein. Instead of being visible as they are today they would stand behind closed curtains and peer through a small crack looking for customers. If they stood in the doorway they would be arrested. Location[edit]The total area is approximately 6,5. Niezel in the north, the sea dike/Nieuwmarkt in the east, the Sint Jansstraat in the south and the Warmoesstraat in the west. Prostitution takes place within this area in the following streets: Barndesteeg, Bethlehemsteeg, Bloedstraat, Boomsteeg (now closed), Dollebegijnensteeg, Enge Kerksteeg, Goldbergersteeg, Gordijnensteeg, Molensteeg, Monnikenstraat, Oudekerksplein, Oudekennissteeg, Oudezijds Achterburgwal, Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Sint Annendwarsstraat, Sint Annenstraat, Stoofsteeg and Trompettersteeg. Between Sint Jansstraat and Sint Annenstraat and running parallel to them are Leidekkerssteeg, Gooijersteeg, Blaauwlakensteeg and Zwartlakensteeg. At least three of these had red light windows which were closed in the 1. Today these alleys are blocked by locked gates although the remains of some bricked over windows can be seen in the architecture. In the 1. 99. 0s Slapersteeg was also closed and a gate now blocks the alley. In the 1. 99. 0s parts of Sint Annenstraat and Sint Annendwarsstraat were demolished. The rooms in Goldbergersteeg were opened after this time. Sex work[edit]. Bronze statue Belle in front of the Oude Kerk by Els Rijerse. Inscription reads "Respect sex workers all over the world.". Sex theater in Amsterdam (red light district)Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, with the exception of street prostitution, but work permits are not issued in the form of a green card for prostitution; therefore legally working in the trade is limited mostly to EU citizens or foreign permanent residents.

Netherlands was raised from 1. Whilst health and social services are readily available, sex workers are required to undergo regular health checks at the government's expense. Brothel owners and room operators often require health certificates such as the SERVSAFE test before employing or leasing rooms.[4]To counter negative publicity, Mariska Majoor, founder of the Prostitution Information Center, organized two "open days" in February 2. March 2. 00. 7, allowing visitors access to some window brothels and peep shows and informing them about the working conditions there.[5][6] Majoor was also instrumental in having the world's first monument to sex workers[7] installed in the red light district. The bronze statue was unveiled on the Oudekerksplein in front of the Oude Kerk at the open day in March 2. Cannabis coffeeshops[edit]Cannabis coffeeshops in the RLD and elsewhere in the Netherlands are licensed to sell cannabis and serve soft drinks. Food, alcohol, and indoor tobacco smoking are generally not permitted. Before the onset of coffeeshop licensing, some began openly selling cannabis. The first coffee shops opened in the 1. These faced trouble from police and the local councils with frequent closures. In 1. 97. 6, the government of the Netherlands began to take steps to decriminalize the use and possession of cannabis by changing the law so that possession of up to 3. The gedoogbeleid or tolerance policy gave rise to coffeeshop licensing which meant that as long as coffeeshops did not sell hard drugs, they were allowed to operate. Coffeeshops were not allowed to operate in certain cities near the borders of Germany and Belgium because it was felt soft drug use might raise crime there.[citation needed]The government of Netherlands has continually been under pressure from different western countries to rein in coffeeshops, leading to several coffeeshops being shut down for flouting rules, with no licenses issued to new operators. This approach has continued since 1. In the 1. 99. 0s, the coffeeshop owners organized themselves into a union, the Bond van cannabis Detaillisten or BCD, set up to represent the interests of the coffeeshops which were under constant pressure from local councils.[citation needed]A recent policy has ordered that 2.

According to Job Cohen, the former mayor of Amsterdam, "We've realized this is no longer about small- scale entrepreneurs but that big crime organizations are involved here in trafficking women, drugs, killings and other criminal activities".[1. Groups of sex workers have also worked to raise awareness of their rights. The Prostitute Information Centre, founded in the 1. While sex workers in brothels currently have to register, it has been suggested making escorts and kamer workers register, which has been opposed by some sex worker groups out of concern it would favor pimps over the workers themselves.[1. Jan Fisher of Red Thread commented: “The ones who want to work know how devastating the stigma could be, and will be. They will try to work outside this system and they’ll be vulnerable when they’re detected by the police and tax office, and the ones who are trafficked may be forced by their pimps to register so they have a kind of legal status.â€[1. In 2. 00. 7 a statue called "Belle" was unveiled on the Oudekerksplein with the inscription "Respect sex workers all over the world".[1.
