Belgium Enacts Historic Labour Rights for S£x Workers: A New Era of Benefits
Belgium has made history by enacting groundbreaking labor laws that grant sex workers employment rights, including pensions, health insurance, paid holidays, maternity leave, and unemployment benefits.
This move builds on Belgium’s 2022 decriminalization of sex work and aims to ensure social security and workplace protections for individuals in this sector.
The law allows sex workers to work under employment contracts, giving them the right to refuse clients or certain acts without risking termination.
Employers must meet strict requirements, such as providing emergency alarm systems and ensuring safe working conditions.
This legislation does not cover roles like pornography actors, strippers, or webcam performers but focuses on physical sex work.
It is seen as a model for balancing worker protection and safety, free from moral judgment, and could inspire similar reforms globally.
