They are building a statue to honor prostitutes!
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Amsterdam’s red-light district will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor prostitutes around the world.
The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported.
“In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength,” Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned the statue, told ANP.
ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who confidently looks out into the world.
Hey, it is the world’s oldest profession and I guess we have to pay tribute to it somehow. I mean we have statues for generals, leaders, and people who change the world – so why not prostitutes? I’m sure Cleaopatra would appreciate the gesture…
