Red-light district

Red-light district (De Wallen) i Amsterdam

Red-light district, norsk: bordellkvarter, er ett uttrykk som brukes om bydeler som forbindes med prostitusjon, bordellvirksomhet eller andre virksomheter innen sexindustrien.

Opphav til begrepet

[rediger | rediger kilde]

Red-light-distrikter er nevnt, lenge før trafikklys, som et sted for bordeller i 1882-protokollene fra et møte i Woman's Christian Temperance Union (Det Hvite Bånd) i USA.[1] Oxford English Dictionary registrerer det tidligste kjente opptreden av begrepet «red light district» på trykk som en artikkel fra 1894 fra Sandusky Register, en avis i byen Sandusky i Ohio. Begrepet synes å være i aktiv bruk fra 1896.[2]

«Red Light-distriktet ble så kalt ettersom lyset i hallen i uanstendige hus hadde en rød globus eller lyste gjennom røde gardiner som dekket akterspeilet til halldøren. Et rødt lys foran en sigarbutikk, ciderrom eller kafferom indikerte formålet...» ― I.L. Nascher (1909)[3][2]
