Everyone in London is worried about the look of London these
days ahead of Olympics. Everyone is contributing towards beautifying the
London. PM, Mayer and all others are thinking of the ways and means to present
the London in a manner during Olympics that richest of the rich and best of the
bests might have expected London to be during the games as athletes after
athlete and billionaire after billionaire are pouring in London in their own multimillion
super yachts.
The grinding axe that came most powerfully was on heads of
prostitutes and private escorts that are not allowed to enter the alleys and
streets near the sport hub; police is driving them away from the streets and
even brothels are being shut down. According to latest reports more than 80
brothels in London and in the suburbs of London have been closed until now.
Georgina Perry, who runs Open Doors, a government project supporting east London prostitutes claimed: "For the last two years we've seen a real increase in police activity in relation to sex work in the Olympic host boroughs. Some of the women who sell sex have experienced so many brothel closures that they are now working on the street, and that is a much less safe place. Street women are experiencing a lot of police requests for them to move on from the area. They're not wanted there during the Olympic Games."
Prime Minister David Cameron expected an estimated £13 billion ($20.2 billion, 16.3 billion euro) boost for the economy over the next four years but these ladies are expecting the vice versa despite prostitution is legal in Britain, but keeping a brothel is outlawed, as are other related activities such as curb-crawling.
Even London's mayor Boris Johnson openly supports a crackdown on the sex trade ahead of the Olympics: "We are determined to crack down on prostitution and human trafficking in the run up to the London 2012 Games."
In the last few months, Islam has led a successful campaign to force police to keep prostitutes away from the estate, which its overwhelmingly Muslim residents say has been blighted by the sex trade for decades. Like Perry, she is concerned about the safety of female sex workers -- but she said she and her friends were sick of walking their children to school through an estate littered with used condoms.
