Sex workers in Belgium will get maternity leave and pensions under a world-first law.
Should prostitution be treated like any other job? Or is this law normalising a profession that exploits women?
We speak to escorts and employers in Belgium👇

So I’ve never written a story about myself. But I broke the rule to show how, despite warm words about change, police still fail women reporting sexually motivated crimes. Here’s my story of the 2 yr battle to get my offender convicted. TLDR: Don’t give up bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgw…

many years ago during my first job at the BBC, I was nearly scammed when looking for a place to live. I took it to @vicderbyshire and the team who let me investigate and report—with the help of @jim_reed !—and there have finally been consequences for these rogue letting agents.

Bridget met evil Daniel Cleaver at work. She met lovely Mark Darcy in a paddling pool as a baby and then again as an adult at Una and Geoffrey Alconbury’s turkey curry buffet. THIS IS CANONICAL STUFF FFS
WFH may be OK for the older generation, but for the Bridget Joneses of today it's a sham and a snare - and they'll never meet their Mr Darcy
