PROSTITUTION IN HUNGARY - IT'S LEGAL - SORT OF : SEX WORKERS ARE DESTITUTE - AND GO TO AMSTERDAM

EUROZINE: THE BANKOK OF EUROPE by Reka Kinga Papp

I know that Hungarian women are stereotyped as "hot blooded" and sexy.  However, having a lover of choice - even having lovers of choice - and mutually making love - is entirely different than having sex with anyone who is willing to pay you and catering to their desires.  It's a lifestyle I personally cannot imagine.Yet, because of intense poverty, it's a lifestyle that some women in this world get into. I want so much more for the women of this world. And prayerfully I must suspend personal judgement.

EXCERPT: So much so that there are streets in Amsterdam's red-light district famously known colloquially, among social workers, police and sex workers, as NYIREGYHAZA, after the regional centre of an exceptionally depressed region in north-eastern Hungary which, along with its surrounding villages, supplies these same streets with sex providers.
