There are already fewer of them, these women who inadequately dressed, put up with all kinds of Stavanger weather in order to sell their bodies as a living. There were 30 per cent fewer during the first nine months of the year than at the same time last year, according to the Church City Mission's Albertine project. From January until September last year, the social workers met 62 different women and one transsexual on the streets in Stavanger. This year, the number has fallen to 51 women and one transsexual.
