Belgium: ... and we get to charge them taxes Leave that last part out tho

This is purely to tax the prostitutes and the employers. If I want to employ someone in Belgium and pay them 1800 euro per month I need to pay an extra 1500 euro in various taxes, so it ends up costing 3300 euro. Now imagine this for a prostitute that gets paid 150 euros per hour, normal deal in whorehouses is that they give between 30% to 50% to the clubs or their pimps. If these people want to pay correct taxes they will have to double or triple the prices of hookers, that’s why most of them are self employed or illegal.

This has 0 to do to combat human trafficking, Brussels has several red light districts filled with illegal prostitution, a few years ago they even scooped Nigerian children as young as 13 from behind the windows that were being forced to work as prostitutes. Every x time the government and the cops have to play pretend they care when everything is getting outta control in the red light districts, but 90% of the time it’s the Eastern European and African crime syndicates that control the girls and they pay off cops and police.

It gets worse. Human trafficking for sex is worse in countries that have legalized prostitution. More demand and women are just as exploitable/vulnerable even with it being legal.

Half of sex trafficked victims in the US are young gay men.

hell yeah. i feel like the netherlands probably did this a while ago, and it makes sense. work is work. laborers should be given the same rights across the board, no matter what their industry is.

what if the laborers industry is dealing drugs, armed robbery or extortion ? those are all much more laborious than sex work, if sex work is real work than so is everything else done using your body right ?

so alcohol & weed manufacturing, and cops performing civil asset forfeiture? yes those are legally protected and mostly-unionized industries.
