AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Amsterdam's red-light district
will soon get a new attraction: a statue to honor
prostitutes around the world.

The statue, designed by artist Els Rijerse, will
likely be unveiled at the end of March, Dutch news
agency ANP reported.

"In many countries, prostitutes struggle and people
have no respect for them whatsoever. The statue is
meant to give all those men and women strength,"
Mariska Majoor, a former prostitute who commissioned
the statue, told ANP.

ANP said the statue, made of bronze, shows a woman who
confidently looks out into the world.

...this time, anyway...
