The Netherlands is a country located in northwestern Europe, bordering Germany, Belgium and the North Sea, with a land area of about 4It is 20,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 17 million.
On October 1, 2000, the Netherlands officially implemented a law that shocked the whole world, that is, to legalize ** Yi, becoming the first country in the world to do so.
After the legalization of the Netherlands, Amsterdam attracts millions of tourists every year.
According to statistics, the sex industry in the Netherlands brings about 1 billion euros of revenue to the Netherlands every year, most of which comes from tourism. The Netherlands** also collects a corresponding tax from the sex industry, with an estimated €25 million in tax revenue coming from the sex industry each year.
It is estimated that the Netherlands has about 250,000 sex workers. Most of them are immigrants from other countries.
The average income of a sex worker in the Netherlands is €150 per hour4, which is well above the minimum wage in the Netherlands. In addition, sex workers can also enjoy the Dutch social security system, including health insurance, pensions, etc., and can also join trade unions and associations to protect their rights and interests.
The legalization of the Netherlands has shifted the law from underground to aboveground, reducing the incidence of sexual crimes to a certain extent.
The sex crime rate in the Netherlands is easy to legalizeFrom 8 per 100,000 people in 20004, down to 6 per 100,000 people in 20174 from 5, which is lower than the European average.
Of course, the negative impact of this policy is also very large.
The legalization of the Netherlands has attracted a large number of domestic and foreign sex workers to the Netherlands, and some sex workers, in order to attract and retain customers, provide more services, and even accept unsafe sexual practices, increasing the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
In addition, some sex workers have also faced threats of violence and even robbery.
The easy legalization of the Netherlands has also provided more profit margins for capitalists and the black market, making the chain of interests in the sex industry more complex and more difficult to regulate.
On the one hand, the legalization of the law has enabled some capitalists to use their own funds and positions to monopolize the market of the sex industry, control the resources and channels of the sex industry, make huge profits from it, and exploit and squeeze the fruits of sex workers' labor. Some capitalists own and rent out large numbers of shop windows and charge exorbitant rents, forcing sex workers to work incessantly to pay off their rents, while these capitalists do not have to work at all, but simply sit back and enjoy their work.
On the other hand, the legalization of Yiyi also provides more opportunities and space for the black market, so that some criminals take advantage of the legality of Yiyi to carry out various illegal activities, such as drug trading, human trafficking, money laundering, tax evasion, etc., thereby endangering social security and stability.
Some drug dealers take advantage of the best places and customers to sell and disseminate drugs, which makes the spread of drugs more serious. Some traffickers take advantage of the demand and legitimacy of the market to lure or force some women at home and abroad to engage in sex work, depriving them of their freedom and dignity and making huge profits.
The legalization of the Netherlands has also sparked a controversy over morality and ethics, which has caused problems with the values and morals of society.
As an immoral act, the legalization of Yi itself has led some people to think that Yi is a normal economic activity and a manifestation of freedom and rights. This is undoubtedly a huge negative impact on the values of the whole society.
The easy legalization of the Netherlands has also exacerbated gender inequality and infringed on women's status.
On the one hand, the legalization of ** Yi has made women the main practitioners and objects of the sex industry, while men have become the main consumers of the sex industryAs a result, women are seen as a commodity and resource, to be used and consumed by men, rather than as a person and subject, and to be respected and treated equally by men. This gender inequality weakens women's self-esteem and also affects women's happiness.
On the other hand, the legalization of Yi has also made men's sexual views and behaviors more free and casual, rather than more responsible and respectful.
* Easy legalization allows men to satisfy their sexual desires as they please, without thinking about the feelings of their partner or family, and without having to bear any consequences.
This legalization of the law has made men's attitudes towards sex more frivolous, and men's attitudes towards women more violent. This legalization undermines trust and respect between men and women, as well as harmony and stability in the family and society.
