    Meanwhile in Belgium: Belgium’s sex workers get maternity leave and pensions under world-first law

    Under a new law in Belgium - the first of its kind in the world - […] Sex workers will be entitled to official employment contracts, health insurance, pensions, maternity leave and sick days. Essentially, it will be treated like any other job.

    Sex work was decriminalised in Belgium in 2022 and is legal in several countries including Germany, Greece, the Netherlands and Turkey.

    I hate the fact that there’s sexually frustrated people who are trying to create laws regarding sexuality.
