The world's oldest profession is finally about to get the recognition it deserves. The city of Amsterdam approved a bronze statue dedicated to the world's sex workers. The figure depicts a "self-assured woman, her hands on her hips, looking sideways towards the sky, and standing on a doorstep." Officials have not yet determined where the monument will be placed.
The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news agency ANP reported. According to ANP, sculptress Els Rijerse made the statue at the request of a former prostitute Mariska Majoor, who a decade ago founded a centre on prostitution in the Dutch capital. "In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is meant to give all those men and women strength," Majoor told ANP.

Ihe prostitutes who only do it because they desperately need the money or because they were forced to do it, but the rest of them are just whores. What respect do they want?
