Where is faq prostitution?

According to a Christian organization of aid workers named the ‘Scharlaken Koord’ (in English, Scarlet Cord), out of 892 prostitutes they had contact with in the year 2001, 450 handed over all their earnings to their pimp. The Scharlaken Koord mainly works among prostitutes on de Wallen. Moreover, of the 439 Dutch window-prostitutes on de Wallen they had contact with in 2001-2002, 380 indicated they where introduced into prostitution by a loverboy. According to these aid workers many prostitutes find it difficult to escape prostitution because they are socially isolated and have huge debts, often built up by their former boyfriends in their name. Usually the only friends they have are other prostitutes or their pimp. The Scharlaken Koord has set up a special ‘pal’-program for prostitutes in which the pals help the women to build up a new social network.
