Controversy Surrounds Proposed Relocation of Amsterdam's Red Light District.

Amsterdam's mayor, Femke Halsema, is facing backlash over her plan to move legal sex work from the city's historic Red Light District to a suburban "erotic centre". Angry locals and sex workers protested against the plan, with the latter insisting they want to stay in the "Wallen" Red Light District. The issue has turned into a battle for the future of Amsterdam, as it tries to shed its "sin city" image and ease the impact of mass tourism, while still keeping its soul. The plan could take several years to take shape, with the municipality aiming to decide on a location by the end of 2023.
