Utsopi viert historische mijlpaal voor sekswerkers in België Sekswerkers in België hebben sinds 1 december toegang tot arbeidscontracten, inclusief zwangerschapsverlof, pensioenopbouw en ontslagbescherming – een wereldprimeur! Utsopi, de Belgische unie van sekswerkers en subsidiepartner van Mama Cash, noemt deze wet “noodzakelijk voor een goede balans en een respectvolle, eerlijke relatie tussen sekswerker en uitbater”, aldus de NOS. https://lnkd.in/dwPSVW_P Na de legalisering van sekswerk in 2022, waarvoor Utsopi jarenlang heeft gestreden, is dit een nieuwe mijlpaal in de strijd voor de rechten van sekswerkers. Ook jij kunt je steentje bijdragen. Doneer aan het Red Umbrella Fund, een wereldwijd participatiefonds door en voor sekswerkers!
