    Did Amsterdam’s Legal Prostitution Experiment Fail?

    Please consider supporting my channel⁠ Earlier this year, I traveled to Amsterdam’s famous red light district, De Wallen, to uncover the truth about legal prostitution. Instead of finding a system that protects women, I discovered a dark reality where pimps control the industry, and human trafficking runs rampant. In this video, I talk to real sex workers like Jesslin and Chiela Rosa, who share their firsthand experiences. I also speak with experts like journalist Renate Van Der Zee, who has spent over a decade investigating the sex trade; Frits Rouvoet from Bright Fame, an organization helping women escape prostitution; and Elise Lente from El Roi, a group offering support and care for women in the industry. If you want to know the dark side of Amsterdam’s Red Light District and the impact of legal prostitution, this is the video for you.

    Trafficked Into American Porn

    Join me as I sit down with Shona River as she bravely shares her story of being trafficked into the American porn industry by LA Direct. Sadly, Shona's experience isn't unique. Many non-US citizen models, like her, are forced into this industry without proper permits and even coerced into illegal prostitution by their agents. This form of sex trafficking affects hundreds of victims, with every porn site profiting from their exploitation. It's time for change. By enforcing work visas for foreign models, the porn industry could put an end to this overnight. Let's spread awareness and work towards a safer environment for all models. Please share this video.
