Content: Pimps take advantage of the prostitute’s situation and exploit them for most of their money. There is no such thing as union organizing for prostitutes as their would be serious violence in retribution for their “insubordinate” behavior. The prostitution industry is ultimate expression of the free market without the rule of law when the power is determined by the use of force against the weakest and most vulnerable members of society. Society has basically given up on eliminating prostitution. Therefore, in most major cities around the world, there are neighborhoods where prostitution is concentrated. Society drives prostitution into one part of town where prostitution can go “unseen” during the hours of the night. These neighborhoods were typically laden with existing street crime and poverty before the introduction of prostitution. It is a bad part of town. The most famous of these urban districts is Amsterdam’s Red Light District. In fact, the term “red light district” has become the generic term for any urban neighborhood notorious for its high concentration of prostitution.
