Belgium’s Landmark Pension Law for Sex Workers Earns Davido’s Approval
Davido has expressed admiration for Belgium’s progressive law that grants professional recognition to sex workers.
Starting December 2024, sex workers in Belgium can work under employment contracts, enabling them to access social security benefits such as pensions, health insurance, and maternity leave.
The law also provides protections, such as the right to refuse clients or certain acts, workplace safety guarantees, and access to unemployment benefits if employment ends.
This development marks a significant shift, removing sex work from a legal grey area to ensure rights and protections akin to other professions.
It is part of broader efforts to support workers in industries historically marginalized or stigmatized.
