As Paris gears up for the 2024 Olympics, some sex workers say they’re feeling the heat from local police.
NGOs allege that authorities are intensifying crackdowns on sex workers to present a polished image for the influx of international visitors.
The French police is checking ID´s of several of the girls at different brothels around the city of love.
Critics argue this approach overlooks the real needs and safety of these workers.
While the Olympics promise to bring excitement and global attention, not everyone is cheering. The situation shines a light on the delicate balance Paris must strike between showcasing its best self and protecting its vulnerable communities.
Besides that, a new law in 2016 criminalized the act of paying for sex.
