The approval of a significant law by the \u200bBelgian\u200d Parliament on May 2, 2024, granting employment rights to prostitutes, has sparked debate. Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doe-grants-manchin-donors-company-1-million\/\" title=\"DOE Grants Manchin Donor\u2019s Company  Million\">providing benefits<\/a> \u200cand safeguards to sex workers, the law allows pimps to involve the government if their \u2062workers decline clients, leading to worries about exploitation and abuse in the sector.

Western countries to legalize and legitimize prostitution might be one of the most disgusting fallouts of the sexual revolution yet.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the grotesque logic has been: If you were going to jump into bed with a bunch of strange guys anyway, why not get paid for it?<\/p>\n<p>That, of course, ignores the desperation that drove most women into prostitution in the first place, the inherent degradation in selling your body, and the abuse most prostitutes have suffered at the hands of their pimps and clients.<\/p>\n<p>However, Belgium clearly found the former rather than the latter arguments more compelling, since the country decriminalized the so-called world\u2019s oldest profession in 2022, and now, have passed a law granting employment rights to prostitutes.<\/p>\n<p>As reported in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brusselstimes.com\/1035041\/historic-belgium-first-in-the-world-to-approve-labour-law-for-sex-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Brussels Times<\/a>, this new law passed in the Belgian Parliament on May 2, with 93 votes for, 33 abstentions from, and, astoundingly, no votes against.<\/p>\n<p>The law, aside from allowing prostitutes to ply their trade legally, granted \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-sex-workers-seek-end-of-walking-while-trans-loitering-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex workers<\/a>\u201d

President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">social security<\/a>, pensions, family benefits, health insurance, and maternity leave.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the law has put in place many \u201cprotections\u201d for prostitutes, including granting them the right to refuse a client for any reason.<\/p>\n<p>However, this decent sounding stipulation has a sinister flip side \u2014 if a prostitute were to refuse to have sex with clients ten times in six months, as the U.K.\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/world-news\/2024\/05\/08\/belgium-sex-workers-employment-contracts-pensions-maternity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Telegraph<\/a> explained, then government mediation services should be called by either the pimp or the prostitute.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently the Belgian Parliament and the Utsopi (often stylized in all caps), Belgium\u2019s \u201csex workers\u201d union, inhabit a fairyland of a reality where no one ever used legal loopholes to perpetuate abuse against people dependent on them.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Will

Times, while Daan Bauwens, head of the disreputable union who lobbied for this law in the first place, hailed it as \u201d a world first\u201d that demonstrated that \u201cBelgium is really demonstrating that it aims to protect sex workers, regardless of any moral judgements about the profession people may have,\u201d others were decidedly less enthused.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a
