Antwerp Dutch: Antwerpen [1] is a large city and the capital of the eponymous province in the region of Flanders in Belgium.
At a population of just over half a million people, it is the second largest city in Belgium after Brussels , and it has a major European port. When you think of Belgium , three things typically come to mind; beer, ice cream, chocolate, and of course, yummy waffles! Legal prostitution does not even come to your mind.
But almost every major city in Belgium has a Red-light district. Including, and especially Brussels and Antwerp. Brussels is not the only place in Belgium , where Red-light district is. In Antwerp prostitution is spread over the port district and is allowed only on three streets Verversrui, Vingerlingstraat and Schippersstraat.
Red Light District in Antwerp is pretty safe and resembles the one in Amsterdam : window cases with young hookers of different nationalities. Illegal activity there is prohibited and controled by a constant cops surveillance. There are also two adult stores, one of which doubles up as a peep show on Vingerlingstraat. Prostitution itself is legal in Belgium , but the law prohibits operating brothels and other forms of pimping or assisting immigration for the purpose of prostitution.
However, in practice enforcement can be lax and "unofficial" brothels are tolerated for example in Antwerp. Human trafficking or exploiting individuals for financial gain is punishable for a maximum prison sentence of 15 years. Many sex workers organisations feel that the present grey area in which prostitution operates leaves sex workers vulnerable to exploitation.
