Dutch in red light credit scheme

The Dutch city of Eindhoven is to award credit points to street prostitutes in exchange for good behaviour.

Prostitutes with enough points will get street miles from the City Hall which they can use to buy designer clothes and furniture. In return they must take part in a city plan to help prostitutes find alternative employment. Dutch cities are starting to close red light districts where street prostitutes operate.

Eindhoven plans to close the zone for street prostitutes by 2011. The prostitutes' union, the Red Thread, is enthusiastic about the plan to help street prostitutes seek another profession. With street miles from the City Hall, prostitutes can buy designer clothes and furniture from outlets like the Eindhoven Design Academy and the International School of Design in Cologne.

To earn credit points for street miles, the prostitutes must take part in activities such as workshops where they can learn a range of skills to equip themselves for other work. The City Hall says the street miles credit system goes far beyond designer clothing and street prostitution and is aimed at combating a combination of social problems.

    Would it not be more profitable to the Eindhoven ruling body if they were to set the ladies up in council run establishments for a share in the takings.

    The Red Thread union would co-operate with this I am sure. Instead of a red light outside the building it could become a recognised government department with a prestige name such as Department for Horizontal Pleasures.
