Belgian lawmakers voted to grant sex workers the same employment rights as all employees, marking a significant effort to battle abuse and discrimination in the industry.
Under this groundbreaking law, sex workers can refuse sexual partners or specific acts, and they cannot be dismissed for doing so, providing a necessary layer of protection.
The law, which provides employment contracts and legal protections for sex workers, is designed to address the precarious situation created when sex work was decriminalized without any rights.
Despite the positive changes, some feminist groups have criticized the legislation, contending it may inadvertently normalize issues related to trafficking and undermine efforts against prostitution.
