“Sex workers in Belgium will now be entitled to maternity pay, a pension, health insurance and other employment benefits under a new law that went into effect Sunday. The new law – passed by pols in May in an attempt to crack down on sexual abuse and exploitation – also allows the workers to refuse sexual partners, withhold certain sexual acts and stop a service at any moment without fear of losing their job. The legislation, believed to be the first of its kind, comes two years after the country decriminalized sex work.” (12/01/24)
