Window prostitution

December 15, 2023

Window prostitution is a form of prostitution that is fairly common in the Netherlands and surrounding countries.[1] The prostitute rents a window plus workspace off a window operator for a certain period of time, often per day or part of a day.[2][3][4] The prostitute is also independent and recruits her own customers and also negotiates the price and the services to be provided.[2][3][4]

Dutch practices edit

 
Window prostitution in Utrecht took place on houseboats on the Vecht until they were shut down by the city council.

Window prostitution was originally a typical Dutch form of prostitution.[1] This form arose through the ban on soliciting on the street or in doorways in the old red-light district in Amsterdam around the old church.[5] In the beginning the curtains were completely closed, as sexual morality became less strict, the curtains opened even further. When the curtains were completely open, the process continued in the form of fewer and fewer pieces of clothing that the prostitute wore. In current times, the curtains are only closed when the prostitute has a customer.[2][3]

There are around 1270 windows used for prostitution in the Netherlands.[6] In Amsterdam the traditional window prostitution neighbourhoods are the red-light district, the area around the Singel and the Ruysdaelkade.[5] In Rotterdam window prostitution has not been tolerated since the seventies.[1][7] In The Hague it occurs in the Hunsestraat, the Geleenstraat and the Doubletstraat.[8] In Alkmaar there is a tolerance area for windows on the Achterdam.[9] In Arnhem the Spijkerkwartier was the red-light district, but it was closed in January 2006.[10] In Utrecht there was a special form of window prostitution from the 1960s: the women were sitting behind the windows of houseboats moored along the Zandpad, a road along the eastern bank of the Vecht river.[11][4] In July 2013, the municipal authorities withdrew the permits.[4][12]

Thirty percent of prostitutes in the Netherlands work behind windows.[13]
