    1. It gives sexworkers the same rights and protections as other workers, so yes I would say it’s a net positive. It should also help crack down on bad agents in the sector as they either follow workers protections or get prosecuted as pimps, which previously was a grey area.

    2. This is a huge win and the result of multiple years of coordinated effort by the closest thing they have to a union.

    3. Prostitution will always exist. Either you ban it and let human traffickers run it illegally, or you regulate it and protect the workers.

      This is a win.

      Many sexworkers are part of human trafficking , they will probably not be eligable for this.

      Of course this is a win, sex workers aren’t any less than the lazy inefficient government workforce……. on the contrary!

      Ja, ik wil niet weten hoeveel mannen andere dingen zouden uitspoken zonder deze “uitlaatklep”.

      If they pay taxes, its all fine by me. They contribute and thus should get rights to everything from HI, Pensions, sick days, maternity leave and such. Probaly would even add extra protection for the industry they live in. Violent customers & “bosses” are not uncommon in that sector i bet.

      Honestly it’s stuff that makes me proud to be a Belgian.

      Kindness and protection for an otherwise vulnerable part of society

      Yes

      -it takes sexwork out of the illegal circuit (bad for human traffickers)

      -it protects the sexworkers (can file official complaints, they can unionize, if they are employed they will have to go to “arbeidsgeneeskunde” where they can signal a toxic work environment)

      -they will pay taxes on the income (good for the tax-revenue )

      -if you go to a sexworker and want to be sure you’re not going to someone exploited, it will be easier to check (unionized?, certificate from labor doctor, …)

      -it’s possible to have a contract between sexworker and client of the agreed price and what is permitted, if you go outside the contract it will be sexual assault.

      yes I’m aware their will still be an illegal circuit, but if it’s possible to go legal I think a lot of people will do it.

      Of course it’s a win?

      Why/how would people getting rights and/or better lives *not* be a win??
