Given the situation in the 10 de Julio neighborhood, the governor proposed creating a Red Light District.
Claudio Orregometropolitan governor seeking re-election in office, proposed create a Red Light District in Santiago and thus regulate prostitution in the capital.
Through social networksOrrego expressed that “the situation that affects the 10 de Julio neighborhood with a high sense of insecurity, sexual commerce on public roads and incivilities in its streets is happening in a large part of Santiago.”
Given this situation, the governor stated that “We urgently need more police presence in the area and to have a Red Light District that regulates prostitution in Santiago.”
Orrego deepened his words in the morning program Tu Día on Channel 13, where he said “we wanted to cover the sun with a finger. Prostitution has existed since time immemorial, and the fact of not regulating it, of not saying Santiago is going to have a red light districtas many cities in the world have, “That is better than what is happening today, where we have sex work on public roads, many times in residential places.”
The regional authority accused that “irregular brothels coexist with residential homes”pointing out that “there has never been the political will to discuss it” and anyone who raises it will be branded as someone who “is validating prostitution.”
“Santiago needs a red light district because it is also the way of saying Do you want to practice prostitution? Well, do it here, but you can’t do it in this social building“, he stated.
