PARIS (AP) — Dozens of French sex workers proclaiming themselves proud to be prostitutes marched Wednesday to protest a lawmaker’s proposal to legalize brothels in France, arguing that such a law would deny them the freedom to work on their own. A lawmaker has proposed reopening brothels in order to move prostitutes off the streets and provide them with medical, financial and legal protection.
