Statue in honor of prostitutes and the respect we owe them

Odd sculpture to be right outside a church. It's also right in front of a very nice chocolate shop. :)

The statue titled "Belle", honouring the sex workers of the world, was placed in the heart of the Amsterdam Red Light District in 2007. The statue stands on Oudekerksplein. The project was conceived by Mariska Majoor of the Prostitute Information Centre in Amsterdam. Mariska, a former sex worker, founded the Prostitute Information Center in Amsterdam. The sculpture was created by artist Els Rijerse. The sculpture is made of bronze.

As a reminder that sexworkers need to be respected and to give respect a form

Red Light District, you can't go without visiting it!!!

Must visit if visiting De Wallen area.

Fits in the neighborhood

History

Very surreal but understanding The sculpture can be seen in the context of the city. A little small. I thought it was bigger.

Empowered.

Ingeniously!

Very nice application
