sorry folks, here's a reprint of the article in The Times



Switzerland’s first drive-in “sexboxes” will open today in an effort to sweep prostitution off the streets of Zurich and confine it to an array of purpose-built wooden booths.

In a testament to Swiss pragmatism and orderliness, the city’s prostitute park will have one zone for customers to view women while driving around a circuit and another where the transaction can be completed in secluded shelters.

Residents voted for the 2.5 million franc (Ł1.74 million) scheme in a referendum last year. They were fed up with street prostitution along a notorious stretch of the Limmat river bank in the city centre, and agreed to set up the sex-trade zone on an industrial park in the west of Zurich.

Michael Herzig, the project’s director, said that the boxes would improve security. “We have had a problem here which has been getting worse over the last few years, especially regarding Roma women, some of whom were being forced into prostitution. ”

To combat coercion and pimping, all the prostitutes working in Zurich must now have a licence. A total of 283 permits have been issued so far.The facility has four places for caravans and 11 “sexboxes”, in nine of which customers stay in their cars. Drivers will be forced to park up with their door close to the side of an open garage structure while the passenger door has space to open easily and is within reach of an alarm button linked to a nearby police station. In two other boxes drivers are allowed to park in front of the booth and walk in. A on-site women’s centre will provide showers and toilets for the prostitutes.

Zurich drew inspiration from Cologne, in Germany, which opened sexboxes in 2001. Dortmund tried to copy Cologne but closed its sexboxes two years ago, after they attracted growing numbers of drug dealers.

Andrea Gisler, the director of Züercher Frauenzentrale, a women’s support group in Zurich, said: “The problem is not solved, just displaced.”
