In high-end brothels, she reveals, clients choose girls from a line-up. “I don’t go upstairs with guys who are high,” she asserts.Ĭarolina knows that downtown brothels are safer – only last month a woman was shot dead by a client in Vila Mimosa - but she does not want to compete against other (younger and more attractive) women for business. At Vila Mimosa, she chooses her own hours and has control over who she accepts as a client. “Sometimes I would work all night and still go home with nothing.”īy contrast, Carolina earned enough money in one week at Vila Mimosa to furnish her apartment she could even pay someone to watch her children while she worked. “If I worked a 24-hour shift, I needed seven clients just to break even,” she says. At one high-end club in Minas Gerais, she was forced to pay 60 reais ($25 USD) just to show up to work. I was introduced to her on my second trip to the district and, as we sat at a makeshift bar on the street where she lives, she explained why she prefers Vila Mimosa to the more glamorous hotspots of Rio's sex scene.ĭespite a grueling schedule, Carolina failed to make enough money in the fancier, upscale places she worked. Carolina is a prostitute and community activist who came to Vila Mimosa a decade ago, after working in a variety of sex venues across Rio, São Paulo and the state of Minas Gerais. It is as close as you can get to “survival sex.”īut for some, Vila Mimosa is a place of relative freedom that offers the chance to earn quick money. Prices bottom out at $20 USD per “program” and many of those found working here do so out of desperation, necessity and a lack of real alternatives. Others simply sit around, waiting.Ī world away from the image of the “happy” prostitute learning English, or the boutique “love motel” commonly associated with sex-for-sale in Brazil, Vila Mimosa is the darker side of Rio’s sex industry. Stopping to linger between rooms, we catch glimpses of female silhouettes gyrating to Brazilian funk and fawning over the few clients that have arrived early to avoid the Saturday-night rush. In dimly-lit rooms – some throbbing with neon-tube lighting, some adorned with the odd Halloween decoration – scantily-clad women drape themselves across doorframes and chat in half-empty bars with friends. It is mid-afternoon as we enter the crumbling edifices and business is just getting started.

Matheus explains that, although prostitution is legal in Brazil, running a brothel is not each of these establishments therefore holds a legal registration of trade.ĭespite its unassuming façade, business at Vila Mimosa is thriving. A mixture of ramshackle houses, laundry services, pool halls and bars clutter the main drag, posing as “respectable” businesses. On first sight, Vila Mimosa appears to be nothing more than a jumbled warren of dilapidated buildings and leaking pipes. Luckily, Matheus belongs to a local biker gang and his burly presence provided the protection I needed to navigate Rio’s oldest and largest red-light district. As a fair-haired gringa (foreigner), I’d been advised not to snoop around. The area is also infamous for its criminal gangs Vila Mimosa is regularly raided by the police for drug trafficking offenses. Away from the hubbub of downtown Rio on the west side of the city, the entire neighbourhood is currently engulfed by construction works it is easy to miss, unless you know what you’re looking for. Vila Mimosa - VM as it’s known by locals - is a far cry from the glamorous sex scene of Copacabana. Turning the corner onto Rua Sotero dos Reis, a conspicuously bulky camera swinging from my shoulder, it wasn't long before I reluctantly conceded that it had been a good idea to bring Matheus.
