Several sex workers told CNN the reforms aimed at them are increasing stigma, and said they believe they are being unfairly discriminated against and used as a scapegoat for the city’s problem with mass tourism
Overwhelmed by its own popularity, Amsterdam is ramping up its push to re-brand its “go wild” and “no rules” image. Drunken Brits are being told to stay home, there are moves to clamp down on cannabis, and the red lights could be about to go out on its city center brothels. New rules for sex workers come into force on April 1, according to officials, requiring Amsterdam’s sex work businesses to close their doors at 3 a.m. rather than 6 a.m.
Protesters handed Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema a petition signed by 266 sex workers, according to Red Light United, which called for more police in the red-light district instead of earlier closure times and the move to an erotic center. Halsema has previously stated that some visitors see window workers as only a tourist attraction, arguing that an erotic center will reduce pressure on the red-light district and create a place where sex workers can work safely and undisturbed.

CNN preaches patience as ratings tank during turnaroundCNN's leaders are preaching patience as viewers have been abandoning the network during its attempted turnaround. Cable news ratings in general were down in March compared to the same month last year, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine was fresh, but nowhere as much as at CNN. Nielsen says CNN's viewership during prime time was down 61%. CNN is hoping enough viewers stick around until new leader Chris Licht's vision of a non-partisan, entertaining prime-time lineup takes hold, although that probably won't be until the fall. A revamped daytime look will roll out over the next few weeks, and CNN is crossing its fingers that the slow-starting ‘CNN This Morning’ shows signs of a turnaround.
