Belgium Grants Sex Workers Employment Contracts, Benefits in World-First Law
Dec 1, 2024, 04:01 PM
Belgium has introduced a groundbreaking law granting sex workers a range of labor rights, including access to health insurance, paid leave, pensions, maternity leave, safety protections, and the ability to sign formal employment contracts.
