Having a name like Fokken doesn't mean you'll become a sex worker, but it didn't hurt identical twin sisters Louise and Martine Fokken, who have worked Amsterdam's Red Light District for more than 50 years.
The twins, who also helped set up the first independent union for prostitutes, are the subject of a new documentary: "Meet The Fokkens."
Both sisters say a single woman or mother can't survive on the Dutch minimum wage. Now 69 years old the Fokken twins say they are not covered by any retirement program and will have to die in the saddle.
