In the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, prostitutes are
lining up for free English classes that will be offered by the regional
Association of Prostitution starting in March.
Cida Vieira, president of the Association of Prostitutes
in the city of Belo Horizonte, said Tuesday that 20 have already signed up for
the courses and she expects at least 300 of the group's 4,000 members to follow
suit. The association is organizing the classes and seeking volunteer teachers.
"I don't think we will have problems persuading
English teachers to provide services for free," she said. "We already
have several volunteer psychologists and doctors helping us."
She said classes are expected to begin in March and last
up to eight months.
"It will be important for the girls who will be able
to use English to let their clients know what they are charging and learn about
what turns them on," Vieira said by telephone.
"And for the same reasons we are also thinking of
offering free French and Italian classes," she added.
Prostitution is legal in Brazil.
Belo Horizonte's 62,000-seat Mineirao Stadium will host
six matches of the Confederations Cup and
six games of the World Cup
