Belgium Grants Equal Rights to Sex Workers

News

Belgium has passed a groundbreaking law granting sex workers the same rights and protections as other workers. Signed on Sunday, the legislation ensures access to maternity leave, pensions, and legal safeguards against exploitation.

The move follows 2022 protests where sex workers demanded state support after being excluded from COVID-19 relief. Under the law, sex workers can refuse clients, decline specific acts, or halt services at any time. Employers must also maintain hygienic premises, provide clean linens, and install panic buttons for safety.

The Belgian Union of Sex Workers hailed the law as a major step toward ending discrimination. International organisations like Human Rights Watch praised Belgium’s progressive stance, urging other countries to adopt similar measures.

“This is radical and the best step we have seen globally,” said researcher Erin Kilbride. A Belgian sex worker, Sophie, called it an opportunity for their profession to be acknowledged with dignity.
