About 2 800 prostitutes wearing face masks and sunglasses to shield their identities marched on parliament to protest against a police crackdown on South Korea's sex trade.Police turned a blind eye to the illegal but flourishing sex trade until last month when a massive crackdown closed brothels nationwide and put tens of thousands of prostitutes out of business.Many protestors carried banners demanding the "right to work" and calling for legislation legalising prostitution."We are willing to pay tax if the government legalises our jobs," the prostitutes said in a statement.The sex industry accounts for more than four percent of South Korea's gross domestic product, with its annual sales estimated at 24-trillion won last year.
