The new law – passed by pols in May in an attempt to crack down on sexual abuse and exploitation – also allows the workers to refuse sexual partners, withhold certain sexual acts and stop a service at any moment without fear of losing their job.

The legislation, believed to be the first of its kind, comes two years after the country decriminalized sex work. more
