In the mainland, none of the "pornography, gambling and drugs" that symbolize the gray industry can be touched!
But who would have thought that in the British district of Holbeck, "yellow services" were not only not explicitly banned, but even "legalized".
Sex workers always "don't miss out" any possible opportunity to attract business, even fathers who send their children to school.
What's going on here, and why would the UK agree to make sexual services legal in this region?
The UK's first legal red light district
Holbeck is a light industrial area in the United Kingdom, just 1.6 kilometres from the city centre of Leeds, West Yorkshire.
In fact, as early as 2014, Holbeck was allowed to conduct special transactions in this area, and officially became the first "legal red light district" in the UK.
However, Leeds City Council and West Yorkshire Police are doing this for some reason, one of the biggest reasons being to "reduce crime".
Because in the bustling Britain, there are actually a lot of sex workers, and some women take the initiative, but most of them are forced by life to embark on this road.
However, in order to get more opportunities to make money, these sex workers gathered in Holbeck, so it became a "land of desire" for people.
In such a place, some crimes are inevitable, and over time, not only is the safety of sex workers not guaranteed, but even the increased crime rate will make nearby residents start to panic.
In this way, the city government and the local police came up with such a "legal red light district", so many people will ask, can such a method really bring peace to Holbeck District?
The crime rate is high, and the residents are complaining
Since 2014, when the incident was in beta, it has been working with two birds with one stone, but the method only lasted for two years and was discontinued after a review.
It wasn't until March 2020 that local regulators announced that they would allow such "sex trafficking" again, but this time with the addition of time rules to the original ones.
From the original all-day trade, it has now become "after 7 p.m. the police will no longer warn or arrest sex service users for criminal behavior".
This order is also a disguised prohibition of the rest of the time, and the police will only turn a blind eye to such behavior after 7 p.m.
But what people didn't expect was that since it was "legalized" again, the behavior of sex workers gradually began to become "rampant".
The local residents are miserable, and these sex traffickers don't care about the time at all, as long as there is business coming to the door, how can there be such a thing as a duck in the mouth.
Some sex traffickers are even more excessive, not even picking the occasion, and strange men and women can be seen everywhere in the driveway, in the park, and on the fence outside the door of the household, you can see the ongoing transaction.
Even when the family draws a curtain on the balcony, they can see a scene that makes people "spicy".
Therefore, these traders have completely forgotten the bottom line of the truth, the law and whatever, and they have begun to "choose hunger" regardless of the occasion, regardless of time, regardless of the person.
As long as there are men in the eyes of sex workers, these men seem to have become "prey" in their eyes, and sometimes for a prey, the two are comparable, and the scene is really tragic.
In fact, this is not the most unacceptable point for nearby residents, but the most unacceptable for everyone, in fact, these sex workers will run to the entrance of churches, kindergartens and other places where crowds gather.
Those places that should be sacred and undefiled, pure and flawless, have become "hunting grounds" for prostitutes, and the appearance of eating is a little too ugly.
These sex workers are even more arrogant in their sights, some "early risers" to drive their children to school fathers and male morning joggers.
This behavior really caused the anger of the local residents, as well as the unspeakable scene and noise, and the surrounding environment and garbage made the nearby residents miserable.
The streets are full of used condoms, drunken vomit, and the crumbs of wine bottles, all of which have turned the city into a "nightmare", and local residents are trying to flee.
"A Living Hell on Earth"
As a "legal red-light district", these sex traffickers are acting like a huge "umbrella", but the original intention of this incident is actually proposed by local administrators to reduce the crime rate in Holbeck.
Although the crime rate has now fallen, violence can still occur on a regular basis, even among "prostitutes" and sex workers.
Although it is really hateful for sex workers to "kick their noses in the face", they will often encounter strong business fights with their peers, and they will also be hurt by their clients.
The most pessimistic thing is that these prostitutes will also be "blackmailed" and "robbed", and such bloody incidents also occur one after another, so these sex workers also "have suffering".
In fact, the legalization of the red light district is actually a good thing for these prostitutes, and it can be regarded as finding a way out for women who have "nowhere to go" to make a living.
However, some women, because of family economic compulsion or a lot of hearts accidentally contracted "drug addiction" due to making friends, use the money earned to satisfy their drug addiction, and at the same time, some people need to raise children, so they can only make money in this way.
Although the lives of these girls are difficult, the reason for this life is ultimately their own, but in 2020, the local superiors have announced that the "legalization of the red light district" will continue.
epilogue
The legalization of the red light district is undoubtedly a "double-edged sword", with advantages and disadvantages, but now it is a humanized society, everything has advantages and disadvantages, existence is reasonable, scientific and legal management, of course, can make up for the lack of investment in the medical or academic field.
