Prostitutes on floating barges in Utrecht

Until recently, one of the interesting sights of the old Dutch city of Utrecht was a "red light district" on floating houses. Near the "Red Bridge" and along the riverbank moored floating 40 licensed brothels to 143 legal "jobs." Prostitutes in the windows of the barge can be seen from cars passing over the bridge. Cars go very slowly along the houseboats and the drivers go out of their houses in search prostitute clients. This occurs 24 hours a day. The flow of car traffic is continuous, so that the location of brothels created traffic problems. Now the municipality of Utrecht decided to stop the ugliness and prohibit prostitution. However, the prostitutes were outraged that they are deprived of bread and organized sit-ins in front of the municipality. Demonstration of these women want to make it clear that they are literally thrown out into the street, while they have not done anything wrong.
