Be prepared: Ahead of 2014’s World Cup, Brazilian sex workers sign up for free English classes

	In this photo taken May 5, 2011, men sit at a bar as sex workers wait for customers at the Vila Mimosa prostitution zone in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Spelling the possible end of Vila Mimosa is a high-speed train the government wants to build to link Rio to Sao Paulo, as part of Brazil's Olympic proposal. The government is expected to open bidding to prospective builders July 29.

Prostitutes in one of Brazil’s biggest cities are beginning to sign up for free English classes ahead of this year’s Confederations Cup and the 2014 World Cup.

The president of the Association of Prostitutes of the city of Belo Horizonte says by telephone 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.
Prostitution is legal in Brazil.
Belo Horizonte will host six World Cup matches and Vieira said Tuesday “it will be important for the girls will be able to use English to let their clients know what they are charging and learn about what turns them on.”
