France clamps down on sex work for Olympics

PARIS: As Paris hosts the 2024 Olympics, illegal Chinese sex worker Hua says increased police patrols are threatening her livelihood. “I feel really pressured, I’m constantly scared. There are police checks every day,” said the 55-year-old, who asked not to be identified by her real name. “So I go out to work less and less.” Around 40,000 people, mostly women, are in prostitution or sexual exploitation in France, according to government and charity estimates.
